NAME

indent - Automatic indentation

SYNOPSIS

indent Mode

I - mode line letter.

DESCRIPTION

indent mode, when enabled, ensures that a new text line is automatically indented to the same left hand column as the previous line's first non-white character. If the previous line contains no non-white characters then the line will not be indented. Automatic indentation is disabled when using center or right justification. Indent is usually used in conjunction with wrap(2m) and justify(2m).
