## 10.10 `@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.
