@exdent: Undoing a Line's Indentation

The @exdent command removes any indentation a line might have. The command is written at the beginning of a line and applies only to the text that follows the command that is on the same line. Do not use braces around the text. In a printed manual, the text on an @exdent line is printed in the roman font.

@exdent is usually used within examples. Thus,

     @example
     This line follows an @@example command.
     @exdent This line is exdented.
     This line follows the exdented line.
     The @@end example comes on the next line.
     @end group
     

produces

     This line follows an @example command.

This line is exdented.

     This line follows the exdented line.
     The @end example comes on the next line.
     

In practice, the @exdent command is rarely used. Usually, you un-indent text by ending the example and returning the page to its normal width.
