General ⇒ How to automatically indent section + all corresponding txt?

[mansniks]

Hello here,
I think, subject describes the problem. I mean - it all together and automatically.
Thank you!

One possibility, using some features from the titlesec package:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\newenvironment{myindentpar}[1]%
{\begin{list}{}%
         {\setlength{\leftmargin}{#1}}%
         \item[]%
}
{\end{list}}

\titlespacing{\section}{1cm}{*4}{*1.5}

\begin{document}

\section{First section}
\begin{myindentpar}{1cm}
  \lipsum[1]
\end{myindentpar}
text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text

\end{document}

Notice that the argument of the myindentpar environment equals the value of the first argument of the \titlespacing command.
