Mirror indents?

[Ghitorni]

What new purpose does it serve? We could always choose the left & right
indents earlier. Does it do something different, automatically?
Thanks

Can you provide some background on what you're talking about? Where are you
seeing mirror indents?

Do you mean mirror "margins"?

I never noticed that check-box, which you explained in the thread
"Suzanne Barnhill."

It does in fact indent the paragraph where it's selected, and "inner"
and "outer" refer to paragraphs on facing pages -- so you can have a
paragraph set off from the page-edge or from the binding the same
amount on both sides of the opening. (I don't think I've ever seen a
book that uses such a design, but it might be useful if you wanted to
highlight a paragraph by making it stick into the outer margin. You
could use it for a boxed paragraph to set it off, without having to
worry about Text Boxes.)
