Hanging indent and paragraph spacing - Illustrator Tutorial

Hanging indent and paragraph spacing
I've saved my progress as Enlarged body copy.ai found inside the 08_type folder. Now so far we've applied the exact same formatting to every single line in the poem, and that just doesn't work. It doesn't give us a sense for the structure of the poem. For example, most of the lines in the poem take up a single line of type. But every so often, you come to a line that takes up two lines of type, such as My chance came a week from next Sunday. That doesn't read properly at all. Also, as you may know a limerick is arranged in five line stanzas. So for example, the first stanza of my poem begins, I once knew a lovely Israeli and ends with I was tempted to learn ukulele. We need a gap between the ukulele line, and the line that follows it, so that we can keep track of what's going on inside of this poem. We're going to address these problems by applying some paragraph level formatting attributes inside of this exercise. So I'm going to press the T key in order to switch to the Type tool…
