Our help-beta conversion script expects text to be indented if the text
is part of the same list item. If it is not part of the same list item,
then it expects an empty line just after the list item. This commit
fixes existing instances for the same by searching for regex: `^1\.
.*\n(?!\n)(?!1\.)( {0,1}\S.*)`.
We do not want to add a lint rule for this, since not indenting is not
technically wrong. We will add a TODO list item in the conversion script
for help-beta in future commits.

# Mastering the compose box
|
|
|
|
Here is an overview of all the information and actions you can take in Zulip's
|
|
compose box.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Composing to a different conversation
|
|
|
|
When composing a message, Zulip lets you view a different
|
|
[conversation](/help/reading-conversations) from the one you are composing to.
|
|
For example, you can start a new topic without changing your view, send a
|
|
direct message about the topic you're viewing, or look up a related discussion.
|
|
|
|
In this context, the parts of the message view that are outside of the
|
|
conversation you are composing to are faded for clarity.
|
|
|
|
### Change where you are composing to
|
|
|
|
No matter where you start composing your message, it's easy to change where it
|
|
will be sent.
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{tab|channel-compose}
|
|
|
|
{!start-composing.md!}
|
|
|
|
1. Select any channel from the dropdown in the top left of the compose box. You can
|
|
start typing to filter channels.
|
|
|
|
1. Enter a topic name. Auto-complete will provide suggestions for previously
|
|
used topics.
|
|
|
|
{tab|dm-compose}
|
|
|
|
{!start-composing.md!}
|
|
|
|
1. Select **Direct message** from the dropdown in the top left of the compose
|
|
box.
|
|
|
|
1. Start typing the name of the person you want to message, and
|
|
select their name from the list of suggestions. You can continue
|
|
adding as many message recipients as you like.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Go to conversation
|
|
|
|
Zulip lets you jump to the [conversation](/help/reading-conversations) you're
|
|
currently composing to.
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
1. [Open the compose box](/help/open-the-compose-box).
|
|
|
|
1. Click the highlighted **Go to conversation** (<i class="zulip-icon
|
|
zulip-icon-chevron-right"></i>) button at the top of the compose box. It will
|
|
be clickable only if you're viewing a different conversation from the one you
|
|
are composing to.
|
|
|
|
!!! keyboard_tip ""
|
|
|
|
Use <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>.</kbd> to go to the conversation you're
|
|
composing to.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
### Automatically go to conversation where you sent a message
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|preferences}
|
|
|
|
1. Under **Navigation**, toggle **Automatically go to conversation
|
|
where you sent a message**, as desired.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
