Indenting (sometimes referred to as Tabbing) is the act of adding colons before the message to indicate who is responded to, which significantly eases following the discussion. Editors on PvX are expected to indent, and to sign their comments with ~~~~ after their messages, on the same row.

Example headline

Comment #1

Comment #2
Comment #3
Comment #4
Comment #5
Response to Comment #3
Response to comment to Comment #3
Response to Comment #1

How it looks in the edit window:

==Example headline==

::Comment #3 
:::Comment #4 
::::Comment #5 

:::Response to Comment #3 
::::Response to comment to Comment #3 

:Response to Comment #1

Threading

Now, I want to reply to comment 5. Where do I put it? I don't put it beneath the new repsonse to Comment 1. I put it directly below comment 5, so it looks like:

==Example headline==
Comment #1 
:Comment #2 
::Comment #3 
:::Comment #4 
::::Comment #5
:::::Response to comment #5

:::Response to Comment #3 
::::Response to comment to Comment #3
