Ah, good. Thanks for the info.
The way you've mentioned works, but IMO it has two drawbacks:
- It is a bit cumbersome to type C-u _number_ C-x <TAB> each time you
want to indent a paragraph.
- It is not "interactive": i.e. Many times you don't know beforehand
the value of _number_. So,
it would be nice if you could make several indentations in a row
while seeing the new position
of the text at the end of each one.
Thus, I think it would be nice to have a way of indenting the active
region that didn't have the above drawbacks.
