+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | leftindent | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Abbreviation: ã|\linã% Parameters: ã|unit of measureã% ã|Description:ã% The \lin markup indents text from the left margin. The value may be relative, e.g., {+.5in}, which adds (or subtracts) the amount from the current left margin or current indent (if one is in effect). The default for left indent is zero. The indentation remains until another \leftindent overrides it. This markup causes a break in text. ã|Example:ã% from Camus: The rock should be left at the bottom, because of the inevitability of entropic direction. \vs{9pt} \leftindent{+1in} What I have read doesn't make any sense. How can minerals influence human social behavior, any more than gravity? This theory is 'on the rocks.' \par \leftindent{-1in} \rightline{Clay Gneiss} +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | | | from Camus: The rock should be left at the bottom, because of the | | inevitability of entropic direction. | | What I have read doesn't make any sense.

If you do, be sure that the last paragraph to be indented is followed by a \par. The above illustration could also have been accomplished with grouping as illustrated on the next page. from Camus: The rock should be left at the bottom, because of the inevitability of entropic direction. \vs{9pt} {\leftindent{+1in} What I have read doesn't make any sense.
