Is there any other way to be able to indent, rather than > using column number 1, when starting a new line? When doing customization or when writing some text? Or in programming modes? In customization I have no idea about indenting. Normally items are in field forms and person need not do complicated lists. Do you use the `customize' function to define org-capture-templates? As it looks like below, pretty visible, easier to edit. Hide Org Capture Templates: INS DEL Choice: Value Menu Template entry: Keys : p Description : Protocol Capture Type : Value Menu Org entry Target location: Value Menu File & Headline: Filename : Value Menu Literal: ~/Documents/Orgnotes.org Headline: Inbox Template : Value Menu String: * %^{Title} Source: %u, %c #+BEGIN_QUOTE %i #+END_QUOTE If you use it directly in your config, then you have standard Emacs Lisp indentation. For strings you can do any how, but then do not invoke M-q to indent as it will ruin your own string chunk indentations. When there are longer strings with new lines I tend to define them this way: (let ((string "The heading Then anything else is here. I just keep writing straight from first column"))) rather than using this way: (let ((string (concat "The heading\n\n" "Then anything else is here.\n" "I just keep writing straight from first column")))) And I mean longer strings than those above. For few lines I could be using similar method like you.
