Usage

Inline hanging indent template, for use on a single long line in poems or other text where explicit text wrapping is needed. The default inset is 2em when one parameter (the line to wrap) is used, but a custom hanging indent can be specified by giving a valid CSS unit as the first parameter (bumping the line to wrap to the second parameter). Note that as the template achieves its effect by turning the line into an inline-block, no explicit <br /> should be used after the wrapped line (it will generate a double line break).

One parameter (default indent)

Example

Short line before long line.<br />
''{{hin|{{lorem ipsum}}}}''
Short line after long line.
