23 <para>If the value of <parameter>man.indent.refsect</parameter> is
\r
24 non-zero, the width of the left margin for
\r
25 <tag>refsect1</tag>, <tag>refsect2</tag> and
\r
26 <tag>refsect3</tag> contents and titles (and first-level,
\r
27 second-level, and third-level nested
\r
28 <tag>refsection</tag>instances) is adjusted by the value of
\r
29 the <parameter>man.indent.width</parameter> parameter. With
\r
30 <parameter>man.indent.width</parameter> set to its default value of
\r
31 <literal>3n</literal>, the main results are that:
\r
35 <para>contents of <tag>refsect1</tag> are output with a
\r
36 left margin of three characters instead the roff default of seven
\r
37 or eight characters</para>
\r
40 <para>contents of <tag>refsect2</tag> are displayed in
\r
41 console output with a left margin of six characters instead the of
\r
42 the roff default of seven characters</para>
\r
45 <para> the contents of <tag>refsect3</tag> and nested
\r
46 <tag>refsection</tag> instances are adjusted
\r
51 If instead the value of <parameter>man.indent.refsect</parameter> is
\r
52 zero, no margin adjustment is done for <literal>refsect*</literal>
\r
56 <para>If your content is primarly comprised of
\r
57 <tag>refsect1</tag> and <tag>refsect2</tag> content
\r
58 (or the <tag>refsection</tag> equivalent) – with few or
\r
59 no <tag>refsect3</tag> or lower nested sections , you may be
\r
60 able to “conserve” space in your output by setting
\r
61 <parameter>man.indent.refsect</parameter> to a non-zero value. Doing
\r
62 so will “squeeze” the left margin in such as way as to provide an
\r
63 additional four characters of “room” per line in
\r
64 <tag>refsect1</tag> output. That extra room may be useful
\r
65 if, for example, you have many verbatim sections with long lines in
\r
