Subject: Narrower paragraphs
Date: Fri, 23 Nov 2012 16:00:54 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <op.wn8ensi0tpjj8f@lpr> (raw)

Hello,

I need to temporary narrow the width in which text is typeset, to get something like:

----
Sdflsdf  sjldfg sjfdg sjdfg sjdfg   <- Normal (first) paragraph (no-indent).
sf sjlfg sjdgfjsgfjsdf sgdf jsdgf
sdfg gjh.
    Lsdf  sjldfg sjfdg sjdfg sjdfg   <- Normal (other) paragraph (normal indent).
sf sjlfg sjdgfjsgfjsdf sgdf jsdgf
sdfg gjh.
                                     <- Blank line
   Sdfjhk  skjdhf kh skh fsk ks      <- Narrower (first) paragraph (no-indent);
   skfh  skf s ksk fk sf kh jhd         its width e.g. 0.8 * <width-of-the-normal-paragraph> (\textwidth)
   dfs fsdf.
     Fjhk  skjdhf kh skh fsk ks      <- Narrower (other) paragraph (normal indent).
   skfh  skf s ksk fk sf kh jhd
   dfs fsdf.
     Fjhk  skjdhf kh skh fsk ks
   skfh  skf s ksk fk sf kh jhd
   dfs fsdf.
                                     <- Blank line
   Sdkf sks dfks fhf skdhf kshfk j   <- Normal (next) paragraph (normal indent).
f sfh skfhs kfh skfh skf skdhfkdf
fks fshf shf skhfd ksdhfhks djiuo
dsdhf k.
    Lsdf  sjldfg sjfdg sjdfg sjdfg
sf sjlfg sjdgfjsgfjsdf sgdf jsdgf
sdfg gjh.

I tried to play somehow with \(setup)paragraph(s), but it seems the are intended for paragraph-side-by-side setting, like columns do.

Changing \pagelayout changes the whole page layout, whilst I need just to narrow some paragraphs.

Something like:

\defineSomethingLikeParagraph[MyPar][width=.8\textwidth,leftdistance=.1\textwidth,before=\blank,after=\blank,]

And later:

\startMyPar
   \input knuth
\stopMyPar

Is there something like that?

TIA.

Lukas
