I was a troff user with -me macro, but switched to LaTeX for its
portability and publicity. While using LaTeX, I could not figure out
how to do the equilance of the two very handy features of troff: ".in" 
(possibly nested) and ".ti" (eg. ".ti -.3i").

So, my problems are 

1. How to adjust left indentation of a line, a paragraph or a
   section at demand, while still having LaTeX do paragraph formating, 
   etc.? (I tried \parbox, but it can not produce the right page-break
   since the text in a box is considered a big character. Also tried is
   the list environment, but that gives me no control over the width of
   the indentation, and nested lists did not seem to work either).

2. Is there a style file for troff's -me macro? If yes, how to get a
   copy?

Any help will be deeply appreciated. Pleave post or send your reply to
