Outline Plug-in (Type Custom) compatibilty

[Diego Canziani]

In version 11 and earlier when a plugin was used for outline I setup the custom settings as:
level 1: <OpenSquareBracket>
Level 2: <space><OpenSquareBracket>
Level 3: <space><space><OpenSquareBracket>
etc increasing the number of spaces before the square bracket
Example:
[UNIX]
[o/s Commands]
[grep]
This is a search string function
[Example]
[Windows]
etc
I have quite a number of how-too documents that I use in my job in this format.
If I try the same system in the later versions where outline became part of the product it lets me enter the custom pattern but once I save all leading spaces get trimmed and I am left with all levels starting with a <opensquarebracket>

I have therefore not upgraded beyond version 11 as it would make all my how-too documents unusable.
Am I missing something, is there another way I can achieve this in the later versions ?
Should leading spaces in a custom declaration really be trimmed ?
Thanks in advance,
Diego.

oops – please note that my example also had the leading spaces trimmed when I saved, should have been:
[UNIX]
<space>[o/s Commands]
<space><space>[grep]
<space><space>This is a search string function
<space><space><space>[Example]
[Windows]

Does anyone in support monitor these forums ?
I have worked in support for more than 15 years and in our organization we always did.
Just asking as I wonder if I used the wrong medium – maybe I should have logged a support request ?

Thanks
Diego.
