Mediawiki provides no way to make an entire section indented. For example it would be nice if: =Header= blah blah blah :==subheader== therefore furthermore, blah blah ::===deepersubheader=== and also blah blah blah :==anothersubheader== foo bar baz * apples * puppies * kittens =Top level again= blah Would render then entire section under the header indented, something sort of like: Header_____________________________ blah blah blah subheader_______________________ therefore furthermore, blah blah deepersubheader______________ and also blah blah blah anothersubheader________________ foo bar baz * apples * puppies * kittens Top level again____________________ blah
You could use <blockquote> to work around, but you have to do some funky CSS tweaks to get it looking like the rest of the article (e.g. increase font size). See [[User talk:MER-C/Sandbox#Some section]].
Thanks for the <blockquote> workaround suggestion. That does create the formatting I want... it is a shame that it makes the wiki markup so much less readable :(
I implemented an extension called IndentSections which provides the functionality that I am looking for http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:IndentSections Rather than attempting to support : before = I just made it auto-nest-and-indent all headers. Thanks again MER-C, this would have been a much bigger pain to implement had I not known about <blockquote> behavior.
