How to indent lines in Discourse

I experimented with several approaches to indenting text in a post today.

These approaches included:

  1. Embedded <UL></UL> didn’t work well because it disabled the numbered list tool ( Screen Shot 2024-05-13 at 9.17.07 AM ) for a list that was nested within the text block that I wanted to indent. Yes, I started hand coding this numbered list instead, which worked but I wondered what code would ultimately be saved and whether it would be valid. Thus, I rejected this alternative
  2. Code block rendered the nested ordered list within my indented block in a very unattractive manner. So, I rejected this alternative too.

I went with Quoted text because it was the least evil of the three alternatives.
