AutoIndent

AutoIndent is an option for Cell which specifies what automatic indentation should be done at the beginning of a new line after an explicit return character has been entered.

Possible settings for AutoIndent are:

With AutoIndent->True, tabs or spaces used for indentation on the previous line are explicitly inserted at the beginning of the new line.

With AutoIndent->Automatic, line breaks are always indicated by an IndentingNewLine character even if they were originally entered using or \[NewLine].

Indentation after an \[IndentingNewLine] is automatically redone every time an expression is displayed.

The amount of indentation after an IndentingNewLine is determined by the settings for the LineIndent and LineIndentMaxFraction options.

See Section 2.11.11.
