The value of <parameter>man.indent.width</parameter> is used for indenting of lists, verbatims, headings, and elsewhere, depending on whether the values of certain <literal>man.indent.*</literal> boolean parameters are non-zero.</para> <para>The value of <parameter>man.indent.width</parameter> should include a valid roff measurement unit (for example, <literal>n</literal> or <literal>u</literal>). The default value of <literal>4n</literal> specifies a 4-en width; when viewed on a console, that amounts to the width of four characters. For details about roff measurment units, see the <literal>Measurements</literal> node in the groff info page.</para> </refsection> </refentry>
