Hanging Indent

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

To my knowledge, there is no hanging indent option or bbcode.    

What are other uses for this feature request?

A hanging indent just increases formatting options and gives more flexibility in style. I, personally, like the look of it in certain cases and figured others might as well.

Update

Although a hanging indent is not a normal indent from the little research I have done it's used in only a subset of the US academic citations. This is way too specific, and I will not action it without stronger support from the community.

      If Dimitri sees this vote, see my WA for examples! I use hanging indents and had to slap-dash a code like this together to make it work:   .h-indent:first-letter { margin-left: -22px; } .h-indent { padding-left: 22px; } .h-indent .iconPf2 { vertical-align: -1px; } .h-indent .iconPf2.twoaction { vertical-align: -6px; } .h-indent .iconPf2.threeaction { vertical-align: -8px; } .h-indent-special .iconPf2 { display: inline-block; margin-left: -22px; } .h-indent2 { padding-left: 44px; }

      A hanging indent is the opposite of what the
      BBCode does. Probably not too hard to implement.   In the meantime, you could use CSS to turn the
      BBCode from a first-line indent to a hanging indent. You can ask on the Discord server if you do not know how to do that.

      You can use
      , then use CSS to make it as vast or minuscule as you want.

      While I don't like the look of it myself, I can understand why some people would.
