Working with hanging characters
Hanging character sets handle both hanging punctuation and margin alignment. Margin
alignment lets you hang characters partially outside the margin to create visually
uniform text alignment along the margin. Hanging punctuation lets you hang
punctuation characters fully outside the margin so that the text is flush against either
a uniform margin at the beginning of a line of text (leading) or against a uniform
margin at the end of a line of text (trailing). For example, the quotation mark in the
first sample text below is hanging outside the leading margin, which allows the first
character in the first line of text to align evenly with the rows of text below it. The
quotation mark in the second sample text below is hanging outside the trailing margin.
For example, the period in the second sample text below is hanging outside the trailing
margin.
The opening quotation mark in this sample text is a leading hanging character
The closing quotation mark in this sample text is a trailing hanging character
