outdent

Text margin projection

Outdent is the opposite of indent—to move text leftward toward the margin rather than inward from it.

In word processing and typesetting, an outdent creates a hanging indent where the first line extends beyond subsequent lines: The bibliography entries are outdented so you can scan the authors quickly.

Also called a hanging indent or negative indent.
