2. Re: Dynamic or relative indentation
Olfar Sep 25, 2012 10:50 AM (in response to P Spier)yes you are right, poetry, drama, tragedy, comedy, modern composition, etc.
perhaps the simplest solution would be adding a control mark similar to "Indent here", which could be inserted at the end of the previous paragraph.

3. Re: Dynamic or relative indentation
P Spier Sep 25, 2012 11:08 AM (in response to Olfar)Must be pretty avant garde stuff. Do you really indent the first line almost to the right margin if the previous paragraph ends with a near-full line?
I'd love to see a page of this stuff. Sounds very exciting, visually.
And I agree that a new class of indent to here mark would be the way to go.

6. Re: Dynamic or relative indentation
Judith Judas Nov 28, 2012 6:24 PM (in response to P Spier)I knew there was a special term for this! It just took me ages to find it. It’s called a dropped line.
