text indentation, how to make

Re: text indentation, how to make

Some blocks (like source) allow to define indentation using the "indent" attribute (http://asciidoctor.org/docs/user-manual/#normalize-block-indentation).
But I feel what you want to do is group and align some related topics under some concept, for that I use descriptive/labeled lists with a few tricks.

- Use [horizontal] to align elements to the concept.
- Join the topics using `+`.

[horizontal]
item_1::
First line +
second line +
one more line

item_2::
En un lugar de la Mancha, +
de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme, +
no ha mucho tiempo que vivía +
un hidalgo de los de lanza

One thing I am not sure is about the usage of math formulaes in the block :/

abelsromero, Thank you very much, this method helped me a lot

Result:

Source:

Коэффициент C определяется по формуле: +
asciimath:[ С = rho_i/(rho_i - rho_(возд) * (101,325 *(t_(возд) + 273) )/P_б * 293) ],

[horizontal]
где: ::
asciimath:[rho_(возд)] -- плотность окружающего воздуха при н. у. (t = 20 °С, asciimath:[Р_б] = 101,325 кПа) равная 1,20 кг/м^3^, +
asciimath:[t_(возд)] -- температура окружающего воздуха, °С; +
asciimath:[Р_б] -- атмосферное давление по барометру, кПа.

I think the horizontal description list was the right choice here.

Keep in mind that anything beyond basic layouts should be handled by the stylesheet and not in the AsciiDoc source. If you find yourself using a lot of hard line breaks or no-break whitespace (aka hacks), then it's a sure sign you're mixing content and presentation. AsciiDoc is not designed to position elements on the page (aside from well-defined primitive structures). It's designed to pass on the hints (e.g., roles) and other instructions to a layout engine (i.e., CSS) to arrange the content for display.

Don't be hesitant to tweak the CSS. It's a key part of this toolchain.

Cheers,
