Simple indentation on long lines of text

#1

I am pretty new to ST and write prose in txt files. I have been using VS Code but wanted to use ST instead. When I type a long block of text I’s like subsequent lines of text in the block to all be intended to column 2. I have not been able to get the settings to get this to work.

Example of what I’d like to achieve:

  • This is a long line of text with no carriage returns or line feeds. I’d like the text to wrap and indent
    two spaces. Also, for the all of the subsequent lines in the block I’d like them to also maintain the
    two space indent. I can’t seem to get the correct combination of settings to make this work.
  • At some point I’ll start another line like this in my text file and write another long line and I’d like
    the editor to start like this…

Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

A related setting (indent_subsequent_lines) to control hanging indentation, currently works for source code, only. It doesn’t have any effect on text or markup languages.
