I'm trying to get a block of text to be aligned 2.55cm from the left of the page. I'm sure there's a better way of doing this, but it would be nice to get an answer anyway.
When I type:
\hspace{2.55cm} text text text text text text ... text
I get an output that has the first line 2.55cm from the left but the following lines are aligned with the left of the page, naturally. So I tried using the \hspace{2.55cm}
command at the point in the text where I want there to be an indent (i.e. the start of every line in the output). But when I do this, I get the same output with only the first line indented by 2.55cm and the following lines aligned with the left of the page. Why is this – and how do I fix it?
