Indentation is typically used for nesting list items but it may also be used for indenting paragraphs. Indentation defines the spacing between the beginning of a block-level element and the left margin or gutter in all languages with left to right text direction.
Note that due to the nature of this formatting option, indentation can only be applied to a block-level element, like a paragraph, or a list item. If the paragraph spans across multiple lines of text, each line will appear at the same indentation level.
Increase Indent
To increase the indentation of the element, press the "Increase Indent" toolbar button. The block-level element containing the cursor will be indented with one tab length.
The text editor supports multiple indentation levels per element. To indent an element even further, press the "Increase Indent" toolbar button as many times as necessary.
Decrease Indent
To decrease the indentation of the element, press the "Decrease Indent" toolbar button. The indentation of the block-level element containing the cursor will decrease by one tab length.
