# man.indent.width

Specifies width used for adjusted indents
4

## Description

The `man.indent.width` parameter specifies the width used for adjusted indents. The value of `man.indent.width` is used for indenting of lists, verbatims, headings, and elsewhere, depending on whether the values of certain `man.indent.*` boolean parameters are non-zero.

The value of `man.indent.width` should include a valid roff measurement unit (for example, `n` or `u`). The default value of `4n` specifies a 4-en width; when viewed on a console, that amounts to the width of four characters. For details about roff measurment units, see the `Measurements` node in the groff info page.
