Indents

[M Black]

The had me very puzzled. I create a paragraph style with a left indent and a right indent, zero first line indent and zero last line outdent. 

So why did it do this?

 

I figured out that it wanted me to show the same indent in "first line indent" as the left indent. But I expect a first line indent to be ADDITIONAL to the left indent. That is how it's normally done.

Also, I don't know what the "last line outdent" is for. It didn't seem to do anything when I experimented with it.

Because that's what you told it to do.

Oh, this minus-indent aka "how it's 'normally' done" was driving me mad for decades…  
I, for one, am happy with the Affinity method.

The exact opposite of First Line Indent:

In other words, in Affinity the indent value is always relative to the column.
