810.0. "<line> following math unexpectedly indents" by COOKIE::JOHNSTON () Sat Aug 15 1987 19:44

The following code indents the second line of text by about 3 characters 
when processed for the SOFT.SPEC doctype:


<math>(1917<fraction>(1\2)) Anystreet
<line>(smallskip)
Anywhere, U.S.A.

1917 1/2 Anystreet
        Anywhere, U.S.A.

The same code prints fine when processed for the GENERAL doctype:

1917 1/2 Anystreet
Anywhere, U.S.A.

The behavior is the same whether <line> has arguments or not.

What's causing it?

I've mailed the file to Patti but won't post the whole thing here.  But 
here's the first part of the file so people will have a frame of 
reference when Patti or one of the developers posts a reply:

810.3No <line> preceding <math>CLOSET::ANKLAMWed Aug 26 1987 14:0112
    
    The problem is not that the line following the math is indented,
    but that the line with the math isn't tagged. The absence of a
    tag (<LINE>, for instance) means that the text is set at the left
    margin of the page. In the REPORT doctype, the normal text margin
    is also at the left margin of the page, so it looks like it is
    set correctly. In SOFT.SPEC, the normal text margin is indented
    from the left edge of the page. The <LINE> tags the 'Colorado Springs'
    line, so that line is set correctly.
