This has also been a problem with poetry. I learned
recently about the tabs and spaces being eliminated,
but I thought if I changed margin settings the
indentations for certain verses would be retained. Now
I find out that that isn't the case--and all these
years I've been indenting paragraphs, which people
said they preferred to skipping lines between them,
and indenting quotations and such, e.g.,
correspondence and newspaper articles, etc., in books
when they appear that way in the print book, and just
*very* recently I find out that those aren't retained
either?
Maybe when they get some more engineers something can
be done. Really, all that would have to happen is that
tabs be retained. Then indentation of every tupe would
be easy.
