Description
On discussion forums, one may reply to posts, which are then indented (with a colon at the beginning of each line) underneath the comment being replied to. In longer discussions, it may be difficult to fit all the indented comments on one screen, where some take use of templates that arrange for outdents that continue from the indented comments (e.g. Template:Outdent here on Meta-Wiki).
It's a little awkward to use these templates, especially when using the visual editor. There are also many different screens that read discussions (computer screens, cell phones). It would therefore be nice to have outdents be automatically placed where the screen doesn't entirely make room for a comment. This would also make it easier for contributors that aren't entirely familiar with indents and outdents to not place them in the wrong spot. Indents are beginning to get better, as they are automatically placed when using the visual discussion tool (default, I believe?).
Some concerns are that the outdents have to place the text in the right place, that it is clear which comment is being replied to, and that other templates and media are considered when placing the outdents.
