756.0. "Some help with indent designs, please" by YUPPIE::COLE (I survived B$ST, I think.....) Wed Aug 05 1987 10:08

	I want to style a document similar to REPORT, but with header levels 2 
and 3 indented 1 and 2 blockindents respectively, including the text that 
falls under headers 1 and 2.  I would also like to make list level 1 indent 1 
blockindent instead of 0, list level 2 indent 2 instead of 1, etc.  In 
general, I would like to experiment with different indent styles to see how 
they read.

	Looking at TEX$REPORT.DESIGN isn't much help.  Anybody out there that 
can enlighten me with a new file to look at, or just give me the answer?  I 
simply don't have the time to look at every design out there, and I am NOT a 
Tex guru!

	Thanks!

    To do what you want would require quite a bit of TeX work; you would
    need to redefine the blockindents at each header level. This means
    rewriting all the TeX macros for header levels. Also, since so
    many other tags' formats rely on the counter kept for heading levels,
    you would also probably need to modify the tag definitions to set/reset
    the blockindent counter. 
    
    Sorry; but it's beyond the scope of what we can support at this
    time.
