Abbreviation: π|\hpπ%
Parameters: π|noneπ%
π|Description:π%
The \hangingparagraph markup creates hanging paragraphs, which are the
reverse of normal paragraphs. In a normal paragraph, the first line is
indented but following lines are full measure wide; in a hanging paragraph
the first line is a full measure and the runover lines are indented.
Hanging paragraphs are used for lists, glossaries, and bibliographies. The
\hangingparagraph markup is placed before each item in the text; a \par
finishes the series.
π|Example:π%
\psk{5pt}
\hangingparagraph
BASE. Can mean 'bedrock' in geological terms;
or 'gross' as a description of human behavior.
\hangingparagraph
CLEAVAGE. Refers to the tendency to split along faults;
or to the position of the female bosom in a low-cut
dress.
\hangingparagraph
DOMEHEAD. Is material pushing through a formation;
or an informal epithet for hairless academics.
