10.15 '@indent': Forcing Indentation
====================================

  To complement the '@noindent' command (see the previous section),
Texinfo provides the '@indent' command that forces a paragraph to be
indented.  This paragraph, for instance, is indented using an '@indent'
command.  The first paragraph of a section is the most likely place to
use '@indent', to override the normal behavior of no indentation there
(Note: @paragraphindent).

  It is best to write '@indent' on a line by itself, since in most
environments, spaces following the command will not be ignored.  The
'@indent' line will not generate a blank line in the Info output within
an environment.

  However, it is ok to use it at the beginning of a line, with text
following, outside of any environment.

  Do not put braces after an '@indent' command; they are not necessary,
since '@indent' is a command used outside of paragraphs (Note: Command
Syntax).
