4.6.5.7 Indented regions
........................

You may need to indent a region of text while otherwise formatting it
normally.  Indented regions can be nested; you can change '\n[PI]'
before each call to vary the amount of inset.

 -- Macro: .RS
     Begin a region where headings, paragraphs, and displays are
     indented (further) by the amount stored in the 'PI' register.

 -- Macro: .RE
     End the (next) most recent indented region.

   This feature enables you to easily line up text under hanging and
indented paragraphs.  For example, you may wish to structure lists
hierarchically.
