RTF and paragraph numbers

[mboth]

Greetings Sergey and all,

paragrpahs with numbering result in RTF in

number<tab>text

The tab is, at least, choosen by MS Word as a separator. Is there a way to change that? For centered headings, a tab character is most likely not what you want, instread, a single space would be good.

Why not tab?
In centered paragraphs, widths of tabs are calculated as if this is a left-aligned paragraph. I.e., if the distance between the number and the text is 1 cm in a left-aligned paragraph, it still will be 1 cm if you apply center or right alignment.

Why not tab?

Because in centered paragraphs, it may be desirable to get equal spacing between any paragraph number and the text, regardless of the width of the number.

Code: Select all

                    1 Terms of use
                     21 Liability
                    104 Termination

would be good and it can be accomplished in TRichView already by specifying no indents for the numbering but insert a trailing space character in the number format. Still in the RTF output you get

Code: Select all

                   1   Terms of use
                    21  Liability
                    104 Termination

Note the additional spacing between number and text.

It can be implemented simpler: by aligning list marker to the right.
In RichViewActions, in the numbering customization dialog, select in "Number position": <align right> at <N>, where <N> - distance from the left margin to the right side of the number (assuming that the paragraph is left-aligned).
In code, these properties are:

- MarkerIndent: http://www.trichview.com/help/idh_trvli ... ndent.html

That worked for us, thank you!
