Template:Outdent/doc


 * Description
 * For outdenting a reply on a talk page when indention gets too deep. Indenting on talk pages is done using a colon character  to produce tabs; this template produces a connector bar and initial text to indicate an outdent, based on the number of colons used in the previous indent


 * Usage
 * To outdent posts, insert the number of colons that were used for indenting in the previous post, or use an integer value for that number.
