Template:Dent/doc

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

Hanging indentation (you can use hanging indent for this)

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