RR users are revolutionary in terms of being helpful! ;)

you could script this in transcript maybe. Taking a screenshot
for the preview seems dubitable though. Translating to a pdf,
I couldn't tell you but just the codecs in use in pdfs should be
processor intensive... That's best done in an external.

That would the way. You can make them even persistent
via custom properties. The best and lightest way might be to
record field open/close instead of typing though. Eventually a 
timed message to record changes might be very efficient but might
miss a few keystrokes (trivial!)

You haven't seen the new web browser im making!

You could "simulate" different indents... But the user might edit them...

Yes and no. my new browser is the first I know that handles HTML tables
in RR. It does it via the tabstops which are set according to the width
of the tables. This requires tabs which your user can edit. However, if 
you
look at the script editor, the annoying indentation routine prevents you 
from
editing the indent... So it's possible to implement...

And for my next html trick:
