Text Formatting ⇒ Saving variables in LaTeX

[demirci]

Hi all,

I want to save the value of the variable "parindent". What I want to do is the following: In tabular, you can use the "p" argument to type paragraphs. But it sets the parindent to zero by default. What I have to do is, before entering into the tabular environment I will define a variable and set its value to parindent, then inside the tabular I will use \setlength{parindent}{variable-name}

How can I do this. On the internet I could not find my answer. Can you provide some general introduction for how to use variables in LaTeX?

Thank you all.
