Paragraph "all lines except first one indented"

Post by zeycus »

Hello,

I want in a part of my document (a memoir class document) to have some paragraphs that, when exceed margins, go on in the second line but indented. Exactly what happens in the description environment.

It should be very easy to do, but I did not find how. Can anybody help me?

Thank you in advance,

Perhaps the hanging package is what you're looking for?

That's it exactly!. I did not have to include the package, the memoir class provides the commands as well.

Thank you!
