This may not be what jEdit is designed for, but I'm trying to use it to write documentation and can't get it to format a paragraph normally. For example, if I put a tab at the start of a paragraph and set soft wrap to on, the second (wrapped) line will be indented by the tab's width just like the first line. In a normal text paragraph in a document (or a book) that wouldn't happen, the first line would be indented by a tab, and the second line would not be indented and would be flush with the left side of the screen.

Is there a way to do this in jEdit? I got soft wrap to work, but no matter what options I select I can't keep all the subsequent wrapped lines of a paragraph from being indented.
