Tips
You must include num in INDENT commands that initiate indentation
so TFORM knows how much it’s supposed to indent, but you do not
need to include num in an INDENT OFF command. If you do, TFORM
turns off indentation and issues an error message as well (“TOKENS
AFTER COMMAND IGNORED”). Simply delete the num value if you
receive such an error message.
If you enter an INDENT OFF command without a preceding INDENT
ON command, TFORM issues an error message.
The scope of the INDENT command refers to input lines, not output
lines TFORM indents as many output lines as necessary to account for
the number of input lines you designate in an INDENT command.
To indent one, and only one, output line, use the TI (Temporary Indent)
command instead of the INDENT command. The only two restrictions
for using the TI command are that the command must be on a line by
itself and that it must be followed immediately on the next line by text.
INDENT OFF with no LEFT/RIGHT/BOTH keyword cancels only
LEFT indentation. You need to use an INDENT OFF RIGHT or
INDENT OFF BOTH command to remove right indentation.
