-At its first invocation, you must supply a measure for both indents;
-at subsequent invocations when you wish to supply a measure, both

-the values previously passed to the macro. Hence, if you wish to
-change just one of the values, you must give an argument of zero to

+If you supply only an <kbd>indent-1</kbd> argument, the argument is
+the amount to indent from both the left and right margins. If you

-A word of advice: If you need to manipulate left and right
