Template:Hanging indent
 | This template is used on approximately 6,100 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
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:
Note: Do not abuse {{Quote}}, {{Pull quote}}, <blockquote>, or any other block quotation markup for non-quotations; the {{block indent}} template exists for a reason.
