indent as default in floats makes no sense

2003-02-08 Thread Dr. Richard E. Hawkins
After unindenting lots of floats, it finally occurred to me:  Even when
indentation is used for paragraph breaks in the body, it makes no sense
to indent within a float--the preference should be overridden.

The nature of the float is that it's its own thing away from the text.
I've tried, but cannot conceive of a situation where it makes sense for
a table or figure to be indented by the same amount as a paragraph.
