| I have been trying to get the mud to word-wrap text correctly, and not having any luck. I tried "Adjust width to window size now", so it wraps output at column number line 111. I also have a check in "Auto-wrap to window size". However, this is what I get on my screen...

Why is the text indented like that? I do not have a check in "Indent paragraphs". Can anyone tell me what the best way to wrap text on a MUD is? I've been trying out different things, like "Wrap output at column number", and take the check out of "Auto-wrap to window size".
If anyone knows what might be going on, please let me know. | | Top |

| | First of all, I don't see any indentation, it must be the html truncating spaces, you should try [pre] or something. Secondly, try this: Select "Wrap output at column number", and press "Adjust width to window size now". If you need it to be narrower, select a smaller number in the box. Also select "auto wrap to window size". These are the options I use, they should work for you too. |

| | He probably didn't enclose the example in [code] and [/code] or turn on forum codes. However, if it is wrapping, then one of hte options in mushclient that is on by default is to auto-indent parts of a line that get wrapped, in order to see where long lines and paragraphs end. | | Top |

| I've added the [code] tags to the post.
I don't see any wrapping problems in your post, no lines are greater than 111 characters.
Also the indenting looks like the way the MUD intended it. Does it work differently in another client? If so, which client? Can you show how you expect it to appear? |

| I did try GMUD, and the output is not any different. I went through all the options, didn't see anything that would indent the lines. I'll try what Poromenos suggested.
However, there are ways to manipulate the output. So, if the mud indented the code like that, can the mud client not override it?
Another minor problem I ran into, when you are switching windows, the text is not wrapped correctly. This is the output from MUSHclient...
Idea (Elghinn): /d/damned/guilds/tinker/forge_room: an alteration to lumberjack
where you
get the largest sized boards or nothing at all based on skill % rather then
the little size chips you have now, I mean even an inexperienced woodsman
can chop a tree down and have most of hte thing left vs us having tiny
woodchips... help the carpenters out with not having any real selection..
alter our lumberjack skill like this
How do you copy text from the mud window, and paste it so it's not HTML. The way I know of is you click on "Copy", and not "Copy as HTML". It's much faster if you can just highlight the text, and copy it that way.

| Yes, just "copy" is correct.
Probably what is happening with the wrapping is the MUD wraps it too, so you are getting hard line breaks from it. |
