Template:Outdent/doc

Template:Outdent is used for outdenting a reply chain on a talk page when indentation gets too deep.

Indenting on a talk page is done by using the colon, :, to produce "tabs". This help keeps track of replies and keeps a talk page tidy. Outdenting should be used the same way to specify who the message is in response to.
