Using Relative Values
Adjusting the Text
9–22 058060 Tandem Computers Incorporated
Once you have an INDENT command in effect, you can use plus and minus
signs to create additional indentations within an already indented area of
text. Including indented text within another indentation is called nested
indentation. For example, if you are using an INDENT command that
indents five characters from the left, entering another INDENT command
with a +3 value increases the indentation to eight. In the same way, an
INDENT command of –3 moves the text out three characters from the
current indentation.
Entering the INDENT command by itself, with no values or margins,
cancels all indentation. Margins are reset to the settings in the last STYLE
MARGIN commands.
Figure 9-15 shows an edit file using relative indentation settings.
Figure 9-16 shows the results of nested indentation.
