negative newline_indent

[Gumaster]

I played around with the newline_indent for a while, and with these settings:

Code: Select all

    style.default.first_indent = 7
    style.default.rest_indent = 7
    style.default.newline_indent = True
    #Nothing changes if I use style.default.newline_indent = False instead of True

got this:

Code: Select all

  Sample sentence
Sample sentence2
Sample sentence3 that
  runs onto the next
  few lines.

This is kinda the opposite of what I want, which is:

Code: Select all

  Sample sentence
  Sample sentence2
  Sample sentence3 that
runs onto the next
few lines.

While this can somewhat be achieved by using a negative rest_indent, the start of the lines gets cut off (I'm guessing this is because the negative indent puts them outside the area which they should be shown). Is there some other way I can generate this effect, other than manually spacing everything?
