Explore using a leading tab in headings for Canvas indent #59

Open djplaner opened 2 years ago

djplaner commented 2 years ago

Check each heading, if there are leading tabs before the actual content - give the option for this to indent the heading/item in the Canvas module.

Tasks

[ ] Update code to handle all conversions
[ ] Update the documentation
[ ] Update the sample Word doc

Status

Currently w2c is getting rid of the tab characters in the HTML. However, mammoth should be converting them to a tab character.

It clears tab characters in headings, but within the text it will show tab characters (multiple spaces) but showing it in the browser they'll disappear

Re-design

Can't use tab characters, what other options exist that someone could type meaningfully into a Word document

Canvas module items can be indented up to 5 levels in

Define additional styles

Heading 1 is the normal and then Heading 1 - indent 1, Heading 1 - indent 2 etc are defined as the further indents.

w2c then handles this by

Mammoth adds a span.w2c-indentX inside the original heading
wordConverter checks and extracts the indentX and adds it to item definition
canvas::c2m_Modules::addItem looks for that indent
