<p>The Texinfo processors indent each line of <code>@example</code> and similar
environments. You can use the <code>@exampleindent</code> command to specify
this indentation. Write an <code>@exampleindent</code> command at the
beginning of a line followed by either ‘<samp>asis</samp>’ or a number:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">@exampleindent <var>indent</var>
</pre></div>
<p>The indentation is according to the value of <var>indent</var>:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>asis</code></dt>
<dd><p>Do not change the existing indentation (not implemented in TeX).
</p>
</dd>
<dt>0</dt>
<dd><p>Omit all indentation.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><var>n</var></dt>
<dd><p>Indent environments by <var>n</var> space characters in Info output, by
<var>n</var> ems in TeX.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>The default value of <var>indent</var> is 5 spaces in Info, and 0.4in
in TeX, which is somewhat less. (The reduction is to help TeX
fit more characters onto physical lines.)
</p>
<p>It is best to write the <code>@exampleindent</code> command before the
end-of-header line at the beginning of a Texinfo file, so the region
formatting commands indent paragraphs as specified. See <a href="Start-of-Header.html">Start of Header</a>.
