Indentation and formatting help please

Help

Hello,
Can Directus MCP figure out a way to capture indentation within a document (various levels) as well as complex formatting such as bold-italics-underline and if fonts formats are both mixed with faux formatting as well as native formatting? Example would be Times New Roman (faux Bold) vs Times New Roman Bold, there would be a mixture of this within a document.

Also indentation should contain a tab character and sometimes it does not, just a first line indentation along with a left indent.

Thank you,
Tae

Are you able to provide a specific example here? That would be helpful to better understand the problem.

But with the Directus MCP server, “capturing the indentation”, would likely fall to the LLM and the source content you’re providing it, right?.

Especially if you’re pushing content from something into Directus using the MCP server, you’re reliant upon Claude or whatever LLM/AI tool that you’re using to handle that formatting properly.

So I would try making sure you include those specific formatting instructions inside your prompt when working with the MCP server.

For example, you could add something like:

  • “Preserve all indentation and code block formatting”
  • “Maintain markdown structure including nested lists”
  • “Keep original spacing and line breaks”

This way the AI tool knows to pay attention to those formatting details when transferring content to Directus.
