Text Indenter

How to Use Text Indenter

Text Indenter formats plain text without a word processor. Paste multiline text, choose spaces, tabs, or hanging indentation, set the width, and copy the result. The preview updates immediately so you can adjust before copying.

Use spaces when the output must look stable in most editors. Use tabs when the target environment expects tab indentation. Use hanging indentation when continuation lines should stand apart from the first line.

Formula & Theory - Text Indenter

space indent = repeat " " by selected width
tab indent = "	"
indented line = indent unit + original line

Indentation is a deterministic line transformation. The tool splits text by line breaks, applies the selected prefix, and joins the lines back together. It does not rewrap paragraphs or interpret Markdown syntax.

Because the output is plain text, it can be pasted into code comments, notes, Markdown files, emails, or forms.
