The <?tbcindentstart> and <?tbcindentend> commands set the distance at which text should be indented from the edges of the table cell content area. Their expected use is to indent all lines in a cell by the same amount, with any <?tbcindent> command present adding an additional indent to the first line. These indents are sensitive to the <?tbdir> / <?tbprogression> instruction. If <?tbdir=1>, the indent from <?tbcindentstart> is applied to the right of the cell.

As a default, <?tbcindentstart> is measured from the inside of the cell's rules after taking into account any cell padding. Set <?tbcabsstart=1> if you wish it to be measured from the cell’s margin.

Give the command a negative value to achieve an outdent effect.
