| <a class="index-entry-id" id="index-Indenting-environments"></a> |

| |
| <p>The Texinfo processors indent each line of <code class="code">@example</code> and similar |
| environments. You can use the <code class="code">@exampleindent</code> command to specify |
| this indentation. Write an <code class="code">@exampleindent</code> command at the |
| beginning of a line followed by either ‘<samp class="samp">asis</samp>’ or a number: |
| </p> |
| <div class="example"> |
| <pre class="example-preformatted">@exampleindent <var class="var">indent</var> |
| </pre></div> |
| |
| <p>The indentation is according to the value of <var class="var">indent</var>: |
| </p> |
| <dl class="table"> |
| <dt><code class="code">asis</code></dt> |
| <dd><p>Do not change the existing indentation (not implemented in TeX). |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt>0</dt> |
| <dd><p>Omit all indentation. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| <dt><var class="var">n</var></dt> |
| <dd><p>Indent environments by <var class="var">n</var> space characters in Info output, by |
| <var class="var">n</var> ems in TeX. |
| </p> |
| </dd> |
| </dl> |
| |
| <p>The default value of <var class="var">indent</var> is 5 spaces in Info, and 0.4<span class="dmn">in</span> |
| in TeX, which is somewhat less. (The reduction is to help TeX |
| fit more characters onto physical lines.) |
| </p> |
| <p>It is best to write the <code class="code">@exampleindent</code> command before the |
| end-of-header line at the beginning of a Texinfo file, so the region |
| formatting commands indent paragraphs as specified. See <a class="xref" href="Start-of-Header.html">Start of Header</a>. |
