Margin Control

The margin control format  { i} ( pushm)  where pushes a new left margin i characters to the right of the format position onto the margin stack. The layout algorithm uses the top of the margin stack to decide the column to start laying out at after a line break.

The margin control format { } ( popm)  pops the current margin off the top of the margin stack and restores the left margin to a previous margin.

Usually display forms should have matching pushm's and popm`s.
