      Please, add limited form of "no break space", or "tab" support. Maybe even a tag that indents a block of text, ie. [in]A paragraph is a paragraph that is a paragraph.[/in]. I have a particular way of indenting, but it's rather ghetto. To be honest blocks of text just plain look fugly without indentation.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Eh, I've just taken to the business letter format of a single empty line between paragraphs, with no indentation. It can make a post look a bit large sometimes, but meh.

I think the first version I had looks better. -_-

    Copy paste I see? That's funny how clipboard works, it sees the space character and replaces the value of the special character with uni-20. I won't so easily give up my special character, due to people abusing it and evently forums nullifying it. Unless per chance it's restandardized that most or all forums have indentation support. In consulation, I'll give you the two alt character combinations that form "baka" which is "stupid" in Japanese. 12496 and 12459

Though I don't exactly disagree with you, indenting (in nearly all forms of writing) is somewhat a thing of the past. Nowadays, seperating your paragraphs with a line break is the most common practice.

Not really. It depends on the style being used. The internet has pushed towards less indentation, but many academic papers are expected to be indented with no line breaks. MLA style, which is used by most academic institutions, is to double space the body throughout the text and indent all new paragraphs.

I would agree, however, that (due, in my opinion, to the internet) line breaks with no indentation has become the common style for casual writing. It is also (and has been) the business letter style. So you might be right when you say that it is used in the vast majority of writing, but indentation is still a widely accepted, and taught, style.
