# New Block Support: Text Indent (textIndent)

**[Make WordPress Core](https://daily.dev/sources/wordpresscore)** · 3 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

WordPress 7.0 introduces native text-indent support for blocks via a new textIndent block support in typography. Blocks can opt in by declaring support in block.json, which adds a Line Indent control to the block editor sidebar. The Paragraph block is the first core block to adopt this. A typography.textIndent setting controls whether only subsequent paragraphs or all paragraphs are indented, accommodating different typographic conventions (LTR vs RTL). Themes can configure this via theme.json. The feature is fully opt-in with no breaking changes.
