Not true. Kent Pitman posted an article some time ago about this. You basically write spaces at the beginning of the line with the same width as the nearest non-space character above it. Elegant, even brilliant, but really trivial after the fact of invention. #:Erik -- If this is not what you expected, please alter your expectations.
