Editing Template:Refbegin/doc (section)

=== Option 3: Hanging indentation ===
A [[hanging indentation]] may be applied to bibliographies/reference lists by using the {{para|indent}} parameter. This option can be useful in long bibliographies/reference lists and in particular when individual entries in the list are long, i.e. they wrap over more than one line in the browser display window. Applying a hanging indent to the list makes it much easier to distinguish the keywords (i.e. normally the authors' names) in the bibliography and makes them stand out from preceding and succeeding lines of text. Hanging indents in bibliographies also form part of several widely used citation style implementations, such as APA, MLA, and Chicago.

To use, set {{tlx|refbegin|indent{{=}}yes}}.
