This template creates a paragraph with a [[hanging indent]].

{{content grid|style=gap:0;|content=
{{qac|<h4>With {{tl|Hanging indent}}:</h4>{{Hanging indent |text={{Lorem ipsum}}}}
<syntaxhighlight lang=wikitext>
{{Hanging indent
| text = {{Lorem ipsum}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>
}}

{{qac|<h4>Without:</h4>{{Lorem ipsum}}}}
}}

==Usage==

This template has one parameter, which may be unnamed, numbered as {{para|1}}, or named as either {{para|text}} or {{para|content}}. It is always safest to use the number or a name, since if it is unnamed, any <code>=</code> (equals) character in the content will break the template.

'''Wiki-markup example:'''

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{Hanging indent |text={{Lorem ipsum}}}}</syntaxhighlight>

produces:

{{Hanging indent |text={{Lorem ipsum}}}}

=== Indentation within indentation ===
{{hatnote|The [[semantic HTML]] methods shown here are preferable, especially in actual article text, to abusing association list markup (i.e., beginning lines with the <code>:</code> character) just to get an indentation effect.}}

The entire paragraph itself can be indented and still preserve this hanging-indent effect relevant to its own indentation:

====With {{tl|In5}}====
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{Hanging indent |text={{in5}}{{Lorem ipsum}}}}</syntaxhighlight>
produces a slight indentation of wrapped material:

{{Hanging indent |text={{in5}}{{Lorem ipsum}}}}

(But note that this will not work:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{in5}}{{Hanging indent |text={{Lorem ipsum}}}}</syntaxhighlight>
because it's trying to apply inline style to a block element.)

====With {{tl|Block indent}}====
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{block indent|1={{Hanging indent |text={{Lorem ipsum}}}} }}</syntaxhighlight>
produces full indentation of wrapped material:

{{block indent|1={{Hanging indent |text={{Lorem ipsum}}}} }}

Note: Do not abuse {{tl|Quote}}, {{tl|Pull quote}}, {{tag|blockquote|o}}, or any other block quotation markup for non-quotations; the {{tl|block indent}} template exists for a reason.
