Your question on the Humanities reference desk, dudley m. lynch
[edit]Hi, just a short note to say I fixed a formatting problem with your question. You tried to achieve indentation of the first line of each paragraph by using leading spaces. The wikimedia software interprets this differently than you intended. A line that begins with a leading space is interpreted as pre-formatted text and set in a fixed-width font. This means that you don't get automatic linebreaks, thus making your text flow over the right hand edge of the window. If you want to start a new paragraph, add an extra linebreak (as I did when fixing the formatting). --NorwegianBlue talk 22:36, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
