Template:Hanging indent/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Hanging indent. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template creates a paragraph with a hanging indent.
Usage
This template has one parameter, which may be unnamed, numbered as |1=, or named as either |text= or |content=. It is always safest to use the number or a name, since if it is unnamed, any = (equals) character in the content will break the template.
Wiki-markup example:
{{Hanging indent |text={{Lorem ipsum}}}}
produces:
Indentation within indentation
The entire paragraph itself can be indented and still preserve this hanging-indent effect relevant to its own indentation:
With {{In5}}
{{Hanging indent |text={{in5}}{{Lorem ipsum}}}}
produces a slight indentation of wrapped material:
(But note that this will not work:
{{in5}}{{Hanging indent |text={{Lorem ipsum}}}}
because it's trying to apply inline style to a block element.)
With {{Block indent}}
{{block indent|1={{Hanging indent |text={{Lorem ipsum}}}} }}
produces full indentation of wrapped material:
Page Template:Block indent/styles.css has no content.
Note: Do not abuse {{Quote}}, {{Pull quote}}, <blockquote></blockquote>, or any other block quotation markup for non-quotations; the {{block indent}} template exists for a reason.
