Hanging Indent in Rise
Hi,
I'm wondering if there is a way to input a hanging indent in Rise. I am currently working on a project involving teaching proper citation formatting in MLA and APA, and hanging indents are an integral part of this process!
Thanks so much.

Here's how you can add hanging indents in Rise:
The inline style used in the video is style="padding-left:20px; text-indent:-20px"
Phil: you're brilliant! Your solution worked perfectly. THANK YOU!
Yay!!!! I have waited years for this info. Thank you, Phil!!!!
Hi Phill, Is this also accessible? Accessibility at my workplace is top priority and I am looking for WCAG accesibility compliant solution to this issue. Thanks.
This is just CSS that normally resides in a separate stylesheet file, pure display/presentation stuff so it should not affect screen readers at all. Its not a type of punctuation, just style info.
Are there any updates on this? This is a crucial feature for countless Articulate users that Articulate has failed to implement. I'm strongly advocating for it. It's necessary and long overdue. We would like to see progress on this matter. This post is already five years old.
Also, the citation punctuation (like periods, commas, colons, brackets, italics, so on) doesn't read for the screen readers deeming citations/references not accessible as not allowing the blind and visually impaired users access to the correct information. Can this be added on the feature list? Thanks.
Doesn't that depend on individual screen reader settings?
Not sure, Heather. I am using NVDA and it doesn't read. Have you tried another and it reads? Which one?
Thanks, Heather.
The inline html editor workaround no longer works. Is there anyway to achieve this? Thanks.
CaseyLim-35c828 indeed Rise has a new improved editor. Here's how we style paragraphs with hanging indents since this change. It's a much better method, and it can be more easily replicated across your entire course if needed.
What was the tool you used 'Stylus"? As you have mentioned in the video,editing the CSS in the browser doesn't actually save it in the editor. Thank you.
Yes Stylus is a browser addon you can get for Firefox and Chrome. It lets you save and preview CSS as you work on a course, and after exporting the web/scorm package you need to save that CSS 'theme component' that gets added to the course package. That's my recommended method.
Does it meet accessibility standards for screen readers?
Yes its just CSS (style) information, screen readers disregard indent and padding styles.
Thanks. I need something that gets them to read the indent.
