Indentation

Indentation controls the horizontal spacing of content from the left margin.

It can be used to visually nest or offset content inside the document.

Where to find Indentation​

Indentation options are available in the editor toolbar.

Indentation toolbar icons
Increase and decrease indentation in the toolbar.

Available actions​

Increase indent​

Moves the content at the cursor position further to the right.

Decrease indent​

Moves the content back toward the left margin.

This option is available only when the current indentation is greater than zero.

How it works​

  • Place the cursor inside the content you want to adjust
  • Or select a block of content
  • Click the indentation option in the toolbar
  • The indentation is applied immediately

When to use Indentation​

Use Indentation when you need to:

  • visually separate nested content
  • improve readability
  • create structured layouts within text sections

Important notes​

  • Indentation works based on the cursor position — selecting content is optional
  • Decrease indent is available only when indentation has already been applied

  • Position content horizontally → Alignment
