3.7.6 '@exampleindent': Environment Indenting
---------------------------------------------

The Texinfo processors indent each line of '@example' and similar
environments.  You can use the '@exampleindent' command to specify this
indentation.  Write an '@exampleindent' command at the beginning of a
line followed by either 'asis' or a number:

     @exampleindent INDENT

  The indentation is according to the value of INDENT:

'asis'
     Do not change the existing indentation (not implemented in TeX).

0
     Omit all indentation.

N
     Indent environments by N space characters in Info output, by N ems
     in TeX.

  The default value of INDENT 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.)

  It is best to write the '@exampleindent' command before the
end-of-header line at the beginning of a Texinfo file, so the region
formatting commands indent paragraphs as specified.  Note: Start of
Header.
