Indent entire \begin{figure} ... \end{figure} environment

Post by niek »

Dear all,

Would any of you know if it is possible to indent the following entire environment:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}
...
\end{figure}
Or is it maybe possible to just change the left pagemargin temporarily?

Any other suggestions are, of course, very welcome.

Thanks,

Niek

Hi Niek,

the indentation should be made within the figure environment, not outside, since it's floating.

You could use a quote or quotation environment, or a list environment with customized indentation. Or change \leftskip within this environment, that change would be local. Here is an example for that: Changing margins for just one paragraph.
