No paragraph breaks before/after [INDENT] function
 
I couldn't really find anything recent on problems with INDENT in any recent threads, so hopefully it was okay to start a new one.

I just tried to use the INDENT function to indent a piece of text and noticed that how many returns I used before and afterwards, after posting, it would eliminate the paragraph breaks.

Example:
There should be a blank line on each side of this indented paragraph (there is as I'm typing it), but there's not.
I'm encountering this issue both with the source as well as with the editor. Doesn't matter how many lines I try to put in between the indented and non-indented text either.

EDIT: I've just found that if I enter the extra lines within the text within the INDENT tags, it will create the extra lines. But it requires two lines after the end of the indented text. And if the line breaks are outside the INDENT function, it doesn't work.

With the extra lines entered within the INDENT tags:

Indented text

Normal text

Indented text

Normal text
Test line: hitting enter twice, typing, then indenting
Test line: hitting enter twice, typing, "un-indenting"

Test line: enter once, indent, enter again, typing

OK, so the solution for now would seem to be simply hitting the indent before getting spacing all settled. I'll ask tech if they can fix.

IBJoel , did any work ever get done on this? The issue persists. For instance, this post today required me to enter five blank lines before and four after the indented paragraph before it would create even one blank line either side of it.

Nope, probably because it's a small use case and was early in the pandemic/WFH. I've asked for it to be followed up on.
