Indentation

Indentation settings control the first-line indent of your paragraphs. They apply to chapter section types by default.

Book-Wide Settings

  • Disable All Indentation. Removes automatic indentation from all chapter section types, in both EPUB and print. For the space between paragraphs (rather than the first-line indent), see Paragraph Spacing.
  • Remove Indentation of First Paragraph. Removes the indent from the first paragraph after a heading. Turn this on when you use drop caps, since the drop cap already separates the opening.
  • Indent Size. How far the first line of each paragraph is indented.

How do I change indentation for just one section?

Open that section’s Options menu, choose Customize Section Settings, and use Indent All Paragraphs or Indent First Paragraph (each can be Default, Enabled, or Disabled). See Section Style Settings.
