you cannot encode a right indent tab in XML because there is no such char in unicode. the same for a "indent to here".\

one fix i use is to use a marker (##RI#-for rightIndent tab) and convert them at the end using a find-replace.

if anyone has a better solution PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell.

Isn't \u0008 the Unicode for end of line tabs?

app.activeDocument.stories[0].insertionPoints[-2].contents="\u0008" does the trick. Although I saw something about 0008 being backspace.

Let me know if this works if it does I'll try look into indent to here

Trevor, \u0008 is the Unicode for Backspace. InDesign uses the code to do something else -- just like a couple of other codes, such as \u0018, the Current Page Number placeholder.

Hi Umesh,

Please try the simple JS code for insert the "Right Indent Tab" Character.

app.selection[0].insertionPoints[0].contents = SpecialCharacters.RIGHT_INDENT_TAB;

thx,

"node" -- that really, really makes it sound as if this is part of an XML-based workflow.

Any details you might want to add to your one line problem description and question?
