Changing margins for just one paragraph
If you want to indent a paragraph just by a certain length but the standard LaTeX environments don’t meet the requirements you could use the TeX primitive \leftskip. To limit its effect it can be enclosed in \begingroup … \endgroup. The equivalent for the right margin is \rightskip. Here’s an example:
\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article} \usepackage[english]{babel} \usepackage{blindtext} \parindent0em \parskip\baselineskip \begin{document} \blindtext \par \begingroup \leftskip4em \rightskip\leftskip \blindtext \par \endgroup \blindtext \end{document} |
