When text is indented, it means that the line of text starts further to the right than the lines of text above and below it that are not indented.
|
||||
|
||||
This is done for poetry and some lists, to show that the indented lines form a part of the non-indented line above them. For example:
|
||||
The first line of each paragraph can be indented to show the beginning of a new paragraph.
|
||||
|
||||
> <sup>1</sup> In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. <sup>2</sup> The earth was without form and empty. Darkness was upon the surface of the deep. The Spirit of God was moving above the surface of the waters.
|
||||
> <sup>3</sup> God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. <sup>4</sup> God saw the light, that it was good. He divided the light from the darkness. <sup>5</sup> God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." This was evening and morning, the first day. (Genesis 1:1-5, ULB)
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, or in addition to the indentation, a full line break can be used to separate paragraphs.

In poetry, phrases can be indented to show that they are the completion of a thought in a previous line or that they are to to be contrasted with or compared to a thought in a previous line. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
><sup>1</sup> Blessed is the man who does not walk in the advice of the wicked,
|
||||
> or stand in the pathway with sinners,
|
||||
> or sit in the assembly of mockers.
|
||||
><sup>2</sup> But his delight is in the law of Yahweh,
|
||||
> and on his law he meditates day and night. (Psalm 1:1-2, ULB)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
In long or complicated lists, items in the list can be put on indented lines.
|
||||
><sup>5</sup>These are the names of the leaders who must fight with you:
|
||||
> From the tribe of Reuben, Elizur son of Shedeur;
|
||||
> <sup>6</sup>from the tribe of Simeon, Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai;
