AutoIndent

Usage

• AutoIndent is an option for Cell which specifies what automatic indentation should be done at the beginning of a new line after an explicit return character has been entered.

Notes

• Possible settings for AutoIndent are:

False	do no indentation
True	indent the same as the previous line
Automatic	indent according to the structure of the expression (default)

• With AutoIndent->True, tabs or spaces used for indentation on the previous line are explicitly inserted at the beginning of the new line.

• With AutoIndent->Automatic, line breaks are always indicated by an \[IndentingNewLine] character even if they were originally entered using

or \[NewLine].

• Indentation after an \[IndentingNewLine] is automatically redone every time an expression is displayed.

• The amount of indentation after an \[IndentingNewLine] is determined by the settings for the LineIndent and LineIndentMaxFraction options.

• See Section 2.11.11.
