Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template uses block elements, e.g. <div> or <p>.
It should not be nested inside an inline element, e.g. <span>, or a template that produces such an element.

See H:DIVSPAN for details.

This is a flexible, general template for handing margin and indentation settings. The first argument sets the left margin; the second, the text-indent; the third, the text. All are mandatory.

Examples

[edit]

Normal indentation (you can use {{text-indent}} for this)

{{dent|0|2em|{{lorem ipsum}}}}

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

Hanging indentation (you can use {{hanging indent}} for this)

{{dent|2em|-2em|{{lorem ipsum}}}}

Hanging indent with a margin shift (this general template is the simplest tool in this case)

{{dent|4em|-2em|{{lorem ipsum}}}}

For an example of the template in use, see Page:Flora Australiensis Volume 5.djvu/329.
