I would like spaces in new lines to align to first word after ❰    ❱ What I need is similar to following condition: Somewhat indented text RET in the next line follows aligned to the first word ❰    ❱ Then in this line I would like that ❰    ❱ is ignored so that next line get aligned to the first word in this paragraph "Then". -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
