The indenter [[Template:indent]] performs a newline and indents by a specified number of spaces. However, the spaces are not all the same size, but rather a mixture of [[:en:en|en]]-size & [[:en:em|em]]-size spaces that have been tested to work on a wide range of browsers. (To skip by ''n'' equal-size spaces, instead use {{tl2|in|''n''}} which puts all as the standard-size " " space.)
__TOC__
The indentation spacing generated by [[Template:indent]] will match the alignment of a colon-shift (":") by using {{tl2|indent|5}}, or to match "::" then align by {{tl2|indent|10}}.

'''Usage:''' <nowiki>{{</nowiki>indent|''# of spaces''}}
* Indents up to 30 spaces.
* Indent differs from {{tl|space}} only in that it automatically begins a wrapped-newline, then spaces over ''n'' spaces, whereas {{tl|space}} spaces over ''n'' in the same (current) line.

==Examples==
The following are detailed examples, also comparing to the equivalent indentation generated if a colon-shift ":" were used instead.

'''Example 1 - ''Indenting by 5:'''''
 Some text.<nowiki>{{</nowiki>indent|5}}Some more text.

 '''''Results:''''' 
Some text.{{indent|5}}Some more text.
 

'''Example 2 - ''Alignment with ":" or "::" indentations:'''''
 <nowiki>:</nowiki> Line of colon-shifted text. 
<nowiki>{{</nowiki>indent|5}}Line of indent-5-shifted text. 
 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;Line of br-6-nbsp-shifted text. 
 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Line of br-5-nbsp-shifted text. 
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Line of br-5-nbsp-true-shifted text. 
<nowiki>::</nowiki> Line of 2-colon-shifted text. 
<nowiki>{{</nowiki>space|10}}Line of space-10-shifted text. 

'''''Results:'''''
: Line of colon-shifted text.
{{indent|5}}Line of indent-5-shifted text.
       Line of br-6-nbsp-shifted text.
      Line of br-5-nbsp-shifted text.
      Line of br-5-nbsp-true-shifted text.
:: Line of 2-colon-shifted text.
{{space|10}}Line of space-10-shifted text.

Note that if the prior line is already colon-shifted text, then using "{{tl2|indent|5}}" generates a blank line first, so instead, use "{{tl2|space|5}}" (or such) after a colon-shifted line.

==Analysis of uneven spacing==
The non-breaking "&nbsp;" is exactly the same size as a space (by definition, it must be the same), so it can be alternated with spaces to skip a wider area. Notice that neither {{tl|indent}} nor {{tl|space}} use true space-size, but rather mix en+em spaces, whereas "{{tl2|in|n}}" will actually skip ''n'' count of spaces, as if inserting ''n'' repetitions of an "&nbsp;" space.

==See also==
* {{tl|space}} - skips similar spacing mix of en-size & em-size spaces.
* {{tl|in}} - skips equal-size spacing as all en-size spaces.
