# Native Indent function in Gutenberg

 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to understand how the Gutenberg Editor does not have a native indent
   function. The site I have been working on for the last two years is an academic
   journal that uses indented paragraphs and block quotes regularly. Thus far, the
   only way I have been able to create indents is by reverting to Classic Editor.
 * The [Github forum discussion](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/14554#issuecomment-634666361)
   about this issue shows that this request has been active for 2 years at least…
   will this ever happen, or is there something about indenting specifically which
   makes that function impossible to implement?
 * Thank you!

 * You could do some CSS to have paragraphs indent.
 * Please provide a link to a page on your site where we can see this. Thanks. _Note:
   Your link will be public and we will not later remove it._

 * Is this something WordPress would like to support but can’t due to Gutenberg 
   limitations, or a feature WordPress is abandoning? Gutenberg requires so much
   editing in HTML that I feel like I’ve gotten nostalgic for 1998 and writing my
   websites in Notepad.

 * LOL, Sapphire – I know what you mean! I’m really trying to do things in the native
   way, so that non-programmers will be able to maintain the content, but Gutenberg
   is not making it easy.
 * I too need indented paragraphs and various other things that used to be easy 
   in the classic editor, and I know we are not alone.

 * I’m looking for indent too. I guess using a classic block is still the answer
   in that I can’t find it anywhere still.
