Almost but not exactly... :) Let me try to clarify. Indeed, something is missing from the reasoning. A] Let's say that a paragraph "P" is a sequence of "n" lines "L1", "L2", ..., "Ln" like for example: L1: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet L2: consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ... Ln: Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat B] Let's choose a minimum indentation "Imin" and a maximum indentation "Imax" for P. C] Let's say that "w" is the width of the page. w <-----------------------------------------> +-----------------------------------------+ Page | <--> would be Imin | | <--------------> would be Imax | | | | | | | | | +-----------------------------------------+ Then four cases are possible. Case 1) All the lines are short enough to be indented using the largest indentation possible Imax. P indentation is Imax. +-----------------------------------------+ | <--------------> Imax | | | | | P: | <--------------> Lorem ipsum | L1 | <--------------> Ut enim | L2 | <--------------> Sed ut perspiciatis | L3 | | | | | | +-----------------------------------------+ Case 2) The largest line length is "wk" > (w - Imax). P indentation is wk. +-----------------------------------------+ | <--------------> Imax | | <-------> wk | | | | | P: | <-------> Lorem ipsum | L1 | <-------> Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem qu | L2 | <-------> Sed ut perspiciatis | L3 | | | | | | +-----------------------------------------+ Case 3) The largest line length is exactly (w - Imin). The paragraph indentation is Imin. (No line is cut.) +-----------------------------------------+ | <--> Imin | | | | | P: | <--> Lorem ipsum | L1 | <--> sed quia non numquam eius modi tem | L2 | <--> Sed ut perspiciatis | L3 | | | | | | +-----------------------------------------+ Case 4) At least one of the lines length is wk > (w - Imin). This line (and maybe some others) has to be cut. P indentation is Imin. +-----------------------------------------+ | <--> Imin | | | | | | | P: | <--> Lorem ipsum | L1 | <--> sed quia non numquam eius modi tem | L2 | <--> consectetur adipisicing elit, sed | L3 | <--> do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut | | <--> labore et dolore magna aliqua. | | | | | | | +-----------------------------------------+ Here it is... is it a little bit clearer :/? Thank you for helping me :).
