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 Tags are used to define key elements and attributes used control content and format as well as run processes and generate reports . These tags consist of an opening and closing tag. A tag -- either opening or closing, is used to mark the start or end of an element. Most tags consist of a beginning-tag <SEC> and ending tag </SEC>, but can also contain some empty-element tags such as <Page />. Tags are 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 recommend that you leave the default value setting unless you are using a font other than Courier New and need to change the setting in order to correctly produce a hanging indentation.
