General ⇒ How to use \parindent as a value with the "hanging" package?

[arozenshtein]

For a bibliography, I want to hang my paragraphs, so that the first line of every paragraph (here, every bibliography entry) is flush with the left margin and every subsequent line of the paragraph (the entry) is indented the same value as all the paragraphs in the body of the document are (i.e., the value of \parindent).

Unfortunately, the \hangpara{}{} command only accepts actual numerical values as the first input. So when I try to type

Code: Select all

\usepackage{hanging}

...

\hangpara{\parindent}{1}Author, Title, etc.

I don't get any indentation.

If there's now way to fix the \hangpara command to accept \parindent, is there at least a way of seeing exactly what the value of \parindent is? I know that it is determined by the documentclass, but is there anyway to print out the value, so that I can manually input that value into my \hangpara commands?

Thanks.
