The  \hangingparagraph  markup creates  hanging  paragraphs,  which  are the
reverse of  normal paragraphs.   In  a normal  paragraph, the first  line is
indented but following  lines are full measure wide;  in a hanging paragraph
the  first line  is  a full  measure  and  the runover  lines  are indented.
Hanging paragraphs are used for  lists, glossaries, and bibliographies.  The
\hangingparagraph markup  is placed  before each  item in  the text;  a \par
finishes the series.
