<p>If the value of <a href="../manpages/man.indent.refsect.html"><em class="parameter"><code>man.indent.refsect</code></em></a> is
non-zero, the width of the left margin for
<a href="http://docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/refsect1.html"><code class="sgmltag-element">refsect1</code></a>, <a href="http://docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/refsect2.html"><code class="sgmltag-element">refsect2</code></a> and
<a href="http://docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/refsect3.html"><code class="sgmltag-element">refsect3</code></a> contents and titles (and first-level,
second-level, and third-level nested
<a href="http://docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/refsection.html"><code class="sgmltag-element">refsection</code></a>instances) is adjusted by the value of
the <a href="../manpages/man.indent.width.html"><em class="parameter"><code>man.indent.width</code></em></a> parameter. With
<a href="../manpages/man.indent.width.html"><em class="parameter"><code>man.indent.width</code></em></a> set to its default value of
<code class="literal">3n</code>, the main results are that:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem">
<p>contents of <a href="http://docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/refsect1.html"><code class="sgmltag-element">refsect1</code></a> are output with a
left margin of three characters instead the roff default of seven
or eight characters</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p>contents of <a href="http://docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/refsect2.html"><code class="sgmltag-element">refsect2</code></a> are displayed in
console output with a left margin of six characters instead the of
the roff default of seven characters</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p> the contents of <a href="http://docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/refsect3.html"><code class="sgmltag-element">refsect3</code></a> and nested
<a href="http://docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/refsection.html"><code class="sgmltag-element">refsection</code></a> instances are adjusted
accordingly.</p>
</li></ul></div><p>
If instead the value of <a href="../manpages/man.indent.refsect.html"><em class="parameter"><code>man.indent.refsect</code></em></a> is
zero, no margin adjustment is done for <code class="literal">refsect*</code>
output.</p>
<div class="tip" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Tip</h3>
<p>If your content is primarly comprised of
<a href="http://docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/refsect1.html"><code class="sgmltag-element">refsect1</code></a> and <a href="http://docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/refsect2.html"><code class="sgmltag-element">refsect2</code></a> content
(or the <a href="http://docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/refsection.html"><code class="sgmltag-element">refsection</code></a> equivalent) – with few or
no <a href="http://docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/refsect3.html"><code class="sgmltag-element">refsect3</code></a> or lower nested sections , you may be
able to “conserve” space in your output by setting
<a href="../manpages/man.indent.refsect.html"><em class="parameter"><code>man.indent.refsect</code></em></a> to a non-zero value. Doing
so will “squeeze” the left margin in such as way as to provide an
additional four characters of “room” per line in
<a href="http://docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/refsect1.html"><code class="sgmltag-element">refsect1</code></a> output. That extra room may be useful
if, for example, you have many verbatim sections with long lines in
them.</p>
