3.1 Indentation

The BasicSpec and Items environments have an optional text argument whose width is taken as the indentation of the body of each item. The default indentation for BasicSpec is the width of the keyword \Pred, whereas that for Items is the width of the space produced by the command \Margin, which may be altered from its default setting of four spaces using:

\renewcommand{\Margin}{~...~}
The command \Margin may also be used to insert extra space in formulae, e.g., at the beginning of a continuation line. \M abbreviates \Margin. Space may also be inserted by explicit use of ~ or \ ; explicit \hspace commands should not be used when translation to HTML is to be done using Hyperlatex.

The indentation for the items in a SpecDefn environment is fixed as the width of the grouping brace given by \Group. Items with a different indentation can be formatted using an Items environment as the body of the SpecDefn environment.

The command \I{...} abbreviates \item[...]. When the argument is a single command or character, \I{...} may be written just as \I.
