Re: margins for figure captions

[Joe Beach]

Hi, 

Displays are introduced on pages 29-30 of the Lout 3.28 User Manual.
That section also refers you to section 7.5 for information on
specialized displays and their raw forms. 

I may have been wrong about setting the display indent as an option. It
appears to be set in the setup file, instead. Just glancing at pages
29-30, I think you may want @RawQuotedDisplay. @QuotedDisplay indents
both sides of the displayed object, and the Raw form leaves off the
vertical spacing.
