[textile] Line formatting

If I have something in textile where I want a number of spaces before certain lines, is there a textile code for that?

For example if I want:

In the uncertain hour before the morning
…..Near the ending of interminable night
…..At the recurrent end of the unending
After the dark dove with the flickering tongue
…..Had passed below the horizon of his homing
…..While the dead leaves still rattled on like tin

but with spacing instead of periods, what’s the best way to accomplish that in Textile? Do I have to code the nbsp’s?

Re: [textile] Line formatting

I don’t know if you can put in spaces, but how about using spans?

So my first thought on this would be the following:

p. In the uncertain hour before the morning
%{margin-left: 10px}Near the ending of interminable night%
%{margin-left: 10px}At the recurrent end of the unending%
After the dark dove with the flickering tongue
%{margin-left: 10px}Had passed below the horizon of his homing%
%{margin-left: 10px}While the dead leaves still rattled on like tin%

Pre is what you want. :)

This:

pre. In the uncertain hour before the morning
	Near the ending of interminable night
	At the recurrent end of the unending
After the dark dove with the flickering tongue
	Had passed below the horizon of his homing
	While the dead leaves still rattled on like tin

outputs this:

In the uncertain hour before the morning
	Near the ending of interminable night
	At the recurrent end of the unending
After the dark dove with the flickering tongue
	Had passed below the horizon of his homing
	While the dead leaves still rattled on like tin
