I had tab indentations for my paragraphs using 8 `        ` They were working until I added a center align image using this code: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/7/2/4/72422ffd06bf8dc8648de88a4f1334acdb67739e.png) Which messed up the formatting of the post. Tabs, paragraph/image alignment, and a quick underline with CTRL+U similar to Microsoft Word would really make writing quick articles much less of a pain. I am looking for other writing tools that I can import into Discourse. Because writing clear long article style post is just not really doable. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/post-formatting-using-nbsp-for-tab-indentations/393109)._
