I wish not to have any indent but can't figure out how to do that

Hi,
I wish not to have indent at all when compiling. It looks fine in the editor but whatever I do I keep on getting an indent for first sentence in my PDF tests.

What am I missing?

I use Hebrew which is RTL and therefore a little confusing.

It’s all in how you set the formatting in the Section Layouts. Perhaps have a look at Section 24.2 of the Scrivener Manual. And if you’ve not yet gone through the Scrivener Tutorial, it will show how to set compile settings for Paragraphs.

Of course I did all that. As said, RTL text is quite confusing. I used now another section format and it worked. Not really sure whats the difference but it is solved for now.

Thanks rms

Document’s section type:

Compile panel / compile format.

Double-click the compile format in the list, you get:

That other compile format had most likely a section layout already formatted without an indent. Simple as that. :wink:

Thanks Vincent. I did all that. For some reason it did not work at the beginning (probably forgot something.) Than it did.

Thanks for your time invested.

That was not easy for me to find, but I made it :sweat_smile:. The settings look a bit different. I’m sure I won’t remember how to change it back :laughing:. But for the moment I am happy of getting rid of the indent.
