indenting
Setting text inward
Indenting is setting text in from the margin, creating a visual offset.
The first line of a paragraph is often indented to signal a new thought.
In legal and formal documents, indenting can show hierarchy or subordination.
The word extends to any notching or cutting in: the indenting of a coastline.
