Hanging Indent in Rise

Unfortunately, relying on spaces to accomplish the look of an hanging indent only works if you think all of your viewers will be using a computer screen. The second the screen size shrinks, you just end up with oddly placed spaces and no hanging indent.

I'm having the same issue. Any forward movement on adding this functionality?

Hello, Rebecca! Thanks for letting us know you need additional paragraph formatting options, like hanging indent. we're tracking this request, so I'll add your vote to the list!

Please add this feature. Why have the button to indent inside a table cell if it doesn't hold upon publish or preview? Thanks!

Thanks for bringing this up, Ashley. I see the same problem on my side. It looks like the indent disappears from a table cell when you preview or publish the course.

I'll share this with our Product team to begin looking at next steps for fixing this. 

I am developing a huge 90-course project for a school that requires the use of hanging indents.  I desperately need this feature!  No other "hack" works in any consistent way.

I would like to upvote this. I need the ability to add hanging indents for references in accordion blocks!

Same here, I am developing a course to teach students how to properly reference academic sources and could really do with this feature. 

Another vote- we use indents to 3 levels regularly and this is very problematic. Any updates?

No updates yet, Athena. Thanks for checking in! 

Any updates?

Hi Steve! No updates yet. We will update this thread once we have information to share. In the meantime, you can also  check out our roadmap here.

I would like to vote for this feature. Because Rise is responsive, adding spaces at the beginning of the second line won’t work. 

I would also like to up-vote this feature.

In order to provide content (in this case references) within a course that is reflective of your expectations for your students (using APA) we need this.

I'm struggling with creating hanging indents in the transcript of SToryline.  Anybody know a way?  It's required by the client to follow the style sheet and that's what's called for.   If not, please add my vote to an enhancement! 

Please add my vote to this for a hanging indent! 

Spaces don't work for different devices and is not correct for user accessibility (e.g., for screen readers etc)

Please please please add hanging indents! I have to put a disclaimer on all my Rise courses about how the program doesn't allow hanging indents but students need to use them! (I'm a librarian, I use and showcase citations a lot in my courses)

There's simple CSS for this if it helps...

padding-left: 22px; text-indent: -22px

Would love to know where this feature request is at.

Hi Sherri! Thanks for checking in.

We've submitted a request for the ability to allow for a hanging indent in text blocks. We don't have any news yet, but we'll post updates to this thread if one is available.

+1 for hanging indents, we legal content hence the need for clauses, with letters (which is another issue)

So far, my workaround is creating a .html file and customizing the text that way. I would then upload it in an FTP and generate a URL so I can create an iframe and embed it in Rise. For those that don't have an FTP to upload to, the initial reply from staff is the only alternative I can think of. And even then, tabbing/spacing isn't very responsive friendly. Uploading a document doesn't give the best learning experience either if text formatting (like APA/MLA formatting) is an important topic. I hope this is helpful for folks out there. 

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!
