<span id="exdent"></span><span id="index-exdent"></span>
<span id="index-Indentation-undoing"></span>
<p>The <code>@exdent</code> command removes any indentation a line might have.
The command is written at the beginning of a line and applies only to
the text that follows the command that is on the same line. Do not use
braces around the text. In a printed manual, the text on an
<code>@exdent</code> line is printed in the roman font.
</p>
<p><code>@exdent</code> is usually used within examples. Thus,
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">@example
This line follows an @@example command.
@exdent This line is exdented.
This line follows the exdented line.
The @@end example comes on the next line.
@end example
</pre></div>
<p>produces
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">This line follows an @example command.
</pre><pre class="example">This line is exdented.
</pre><pre class="example">This line follows the exdented line.
The @end example comes on the next line.
</pre></div>
<p>In practice, the <code>@exdent</code> command is rarely used. Usually, you
un-indent text by ending the example and returning the page to its
normal width.
</p>
<p><code>@exdent</code> has no effect in HTML output.
