op.indent.margin

Command/Output Processor: Commands, Releases: AP

Changes left margin +/- positions.

Syntax

.indent margin {-}number.spaces .im {-}number.spaces

Description

adjusts the left margin a specified number of spaces.

If 'number.spaces' is negative, the line begins to the left of the previously set left margin. If 'number.spaces' is not specified, the indent defaults to 1 (one).

If the command is in the middle of an attribute, the preceding text is output and the next word begins a new paragraph that is indented 'number.spaces' spaces.

The command stays in effect until the margin is changed.

Example

.nf
.indent 10
test
.indent -5
line five
