Top Forums Web Development How to indent the second line of text in html? Post 302342505 by sysgate on Monday 10th of August 2009 04:25:35 AM

It depends on how exactly you print the second line. Do you want tab or 4/8 spaces ? If you can use that in the print function, for example :
Code:
[root@server:~]$ perl -e 'print "\ttest\n"';
        test
[root@server:~]$

Notice the tab space before the test string. You can also grab the whole text and put in into EOF, as in :
Code:
print <<EOM;

test
     test
test

EOM

This will print the data exactly in the way you have formatted it.
For more advanced tasks you can use perltidy.
HTH.
Update : Oh, I just saw the post was one week old, I hope it's not too late.

is  a  text formatter.	Its input consists of the text to be out-
put, intermixed with formatting commands.  A  formatting  command
is  a  line  containing  the  control character followed by a two
character command name, and possibly one or more arguments.   The
control  character is initially . (dot).  The formatted output is
produced on standard output.  The formatting commands are  listed
below, with being a number, being a character, and being a title.

negative change from the current value.  Initial values for where
relevant, are given in parentheses.

  .he t   Header titles (even and odd) are set to t.
  .hx	  Header titles are suppressed.
  .hy n   Hyphenation is done if n is 1, suppressed if it is 0. Default is 1.
  .ig	  Ignore input lines until a line beginning with .. is found.
  .in n   Indent n spaces from the left margin; force line break.
  .ix n   Same as .in but continue filling output on current line.
  .li n   Literal text on next n lines.  Copy to output unmodified.
  .ll +n  Line length (including indent) is set to n (65).
