Hanging indents

[Ian Price]

Hi. Does anybody have sample code for creating bullets with hanging indents? I've illustrated below the layout I'm trying to achieve.

Previous paragraph...
x This is the text for the first bullet and I want bullet
text that flows to a second line to be indented.
x Second bullet...

In Word, I'd set up a hanging indent to achieve this but I can't seem to find any references to hanging indents in the DocIO examples or documentation.

Regards, Ian

I just realised all of the leading spaces I included in my bullet layout example below got removed when I posted. I've repated the example below but used underscores to replace the spaces.

Previous paragraph...
__x__This is the text for the first bullet and I want bullet
_____text that flows to a second line to be indented.
__x__Second bullet...

Poornima,
Hi. That works fine - thanks. Unless I missed it, it might be worth explaining the concept of using a negative value for the FirstLineIndent property in the online documentation for DocIO - it must be a quite a common requirement.

Best regards, Ian

Hello, is this resource still available? link does not seem to work. I'm also trying to simulate the behaviour of a hanging indent in the docio library. in other words I want the second line's to starting position to be aligned with the end of the bullet.

Hi Tan,

Kindly refer to the attached sample to achieve the requirement of list with hanging indent. In the attached sample created a document with bullet items, each aligned using a hanging indent, and a regular paragraph in between with a first-line indent.

Refer to the below documentation link for more details:
