This command can be executed from the Editor's Toolbar or keyboard shortcut Ctrl+N.

When positioned between the TXT, LST, or ITM 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, this function will alternately add and remove the indentation amount.

Illustration Icon Indicating Helpful HintWhen inserting new text, use the LST Indent and ITM Indent buttons on the Tagsbar.

By default, the command adds an indentation of - 0.33. To change the indentation value, use Format > Indentation Amount. The default setting for ITM and LST tags is used 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.

Illustration Icon Indicating StopYou cannot add the default indentation value of -0.33 to TXT tags, since it would cause these tags to print in the left margin of the document .

You may add a different indentation value to an individual instance.
