  10. The  \lin markup  indents text  from  the left  margin.    The value  may be
  11. relative,  e.g., {+.5in},  which  adds (or  subtracts)  the amount  from the
  12. current left margin  or current indent (if  one is in effect).   The default
  13. for left indent is zero.   The indentation remains until another \leftindent
  14. overrides it.  This markup causes a break in text.

  17. from Camus: The rock should be left at the bottom,
  18. because of the inevitability of entropic direction.

  22. What I have read doesn't make any sense. How can
  23. minerals influence human social behavior, any more
  24. than gravity? This theory is 'on the rocks.'

  43. You can also use  grouping to limit the effects of  the \leftindent.  If you
  44. do, be  sure that the last paragraph  to be indented is  followed by a \par.
  45. The above  illustration could also  have been accomplished  with grouping as
  46. illustrated on the next page.
