For outdenting a reply on a talk page when indention gets too deep.  Indenting on talk pages is done using a colon character (:) to produce tabs; this template produces a connector bar and initial text to indicate an outdent, based on the number of colons used in the previous indent.
'''Template:Outdent/doc''' — this {{tag|Documentation templates|documentation template}} is used for 'outdenting' a reply on a [[talk page]] when the existing indention gets too deep.  Indenting on talk pages is done using a colon character (<code>:</code>) at the start of a new paragraph to produce the effect of tabs.  This template produces a dog-leg connector bar and initial text to indicate an outdent, based on the number of colons used in the previous indent.
=== Usage ===
 
To outdent posts, insert the number of colons that were used for indenting in the previous post, or use an integer value for that number.  


===Usage===
To outdent posts, insert the number of colons (after a 'pipe') that were used for indenting in the previous post, or use an integer value for that number.
