You can control the indentation of lines of text in \HyperName{} with
some useful commands.
Use the command {\tt \\par} to force a new paragraph if you don't want
to use the blank-line rule. The first line of a new paragraph
will normally be indented by a standard small amount. If you
just want to start on a new line, use the {\tt \\newline}
command.

{\tt let us start a new line \\newline here }
\end{paste}
\endImportant

The  command {\tt \\indent\{{\it value}\}} will
set the left-page-margin {\it value} characters
to the right of the standard left-page-margin.
The initial (standard) state of a page can be reset by the
{\tt \\indent\{0\}} command.
The first lines of paragraphs will be indented
by the {\it extra} standard  amount. The {\tt \\indent\{{\it value}\}}
command does {\em not} force a new line or paragraph.

You can also use the {\tt \\indentrel\{{\it value}\}} command.
Here, the {\it value} argument is a {\em relative} indentation
which can be positive or negative.
Otherwise, it behaves in the same way as the {\tt \\indent} command.

{\tt \\newline \\indentrel\{-5\} there}\newline
{\tt \\newline \\indentrel\{-5\} back}
\end{paste}
\endImportant

The {\tt \\centerline\{{\it some text}\}} command will center its
argument between the current left and right margins. The argument of
the command should not be more than a paragraph of text and should not contain
any commands that change the left margin. The centered text will
start on a new line.

{\tt be some heading.\} Carry on}
\end{paste}
\endImportant

Placing text in vertically aligned columns is easily done with the
{\tt \\tab\{{\it value}\}} command. The {\tt \\tab} command has the
immediate effect of placing the next word {\it value} characters to
the right of the current left margin.

If you wish to preserve the indentation of a piece of text
you can use the {\tt verbatim} group command. Simply place
a {\tt \\begin\{verbatim\}} and {\tt \\end\{verbatim\}} around
the text. Note that \HyperName{} commands will
not be interpreted within the {\tt verbatim} group.
