Template talk:Outdent

Proposed new version
Currently the template uses basic  which is a bit speghetti-like and is not very flexible.

I have created a new version using,   and  : User:Leduyquang753/NewOutdent.

It functions almost as the same as before, the only difference is when  is not a number, the outdent length will be the length of it instead.

The new version is fully backward-compatible.

 * I think both versions are fine. We can also use Lua like Module:Outdent too.-- skylord_wars (talk) 08:25, 2 December 2019 (UTC)


 * . I implemented Wikipedia's version of outdent, which supports reverse outdentation (i.e. indentation) and uses no text characters. However, it cannot be subst'ed. Make sure somebody updates the documentation. Fadyblok240 (talk) 02:20, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

Add amount of outdent to the right of the outdent
As there can be multiple outdent times (and now reindent times), I suggest adding the amount of outdent to the right of the outdent by default, so that we can easily calculate the level of a comment:

┌───────────────────────┘ +9

 * Sorry, but the new version of the template does not show the number of outdents. Fadyblok240 (talk) 02:20, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
