SI Editor Format Menu - TXT / LST / ITM Indentation Amount

This command can be executed by placing your cursor within either a TXT, LST, or ITM tag and then right-clicking to select Attributes > Indent.

When indentation is applied, only the first line is indented and not any subsequent lines of the same text. To keep you from inadvertently causing text to display in the left margin, this feature will prohibit you from applying any negative indentation that would exceed the current positive indentation. (For example: the normal indentation for TXT tagsSpecsIntact relies on tags to control content, and formatting, automate processes, and generate reports. These special markers, like <SEC> and </SEC>, define elements and attributes within the specifications. Some tags, like <Page />, function independently. In essence, tags are the building blocks of SpecsIntact documents is 0.16. You could add an indentation of -0.16 to bring the text to the left margin, but you could not add an indentation value of -0.17, since it would extend into the margin.)

The default setting of - 0.33 is applied to ITM and LST tags to produce a hanging indentation. It is recommended that you leave the default value setting unless you are using a font other than Courier New and need to change the setting to correctly produce a hanging indentation.
