Indent new hardbreak line

Dear all,

I am a newbie to Asciidoctor. I set line breaks with the global :hardbreaks: but I do not manage to indent the new line.

I want the following result.

          Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

Thank you for your answer,

This depends on your output medium.

Do you target HTML as output? Using HTML you have several options:

1. For quick experiments: inline CSS using the passthrough syntax:

   ++++
   <style>
   .paragraph {text-indent: 4em;}
   </style>
   ++++

2. For a more extensive: you can use your own stylesheet by adapting an the existing stylesheet or creating a completely new stylesheet.

I am targeting PDF and using a YAML file as theme sheet.

Looking at the docs about prose, asciidoctor-pdf can only indent paragraphs, not hardbreak lines.

The docs also suggest to set margin-inner to make the gap between two paragraphs like a normal line break, but that would affect all paragraphs.

prose:
  text-indent: 18
  margin-inner: 0

As an alternative, asciidoctor-pdf based on JavaScript allows you to use full CSS styling. At the moment it is an alpha version.
