TagsSpecsIntact relies on tags to control content, and formatting, automate processes, and generate reports. These special markers, like <SEC> and </SEC>, define elements and attributes within the specifications. Some tags, like <Page />, function independently. In essence, tags are the building blocks of SpecsIntact documents: <ITM INDENT =-0.33>  </ITM>
Description:

Normally used to achieve a greater margin of block indent over Text <TXT> and List <LST> tags and automatically sets the hanging indent to -0.33.  Used for nested items such as a., b., c., etc..

The ITM tag prints .85 inches from the margin of the page (The margin being 1 inch).
