How to indent the first line of a multiline paragraph using jspdf - indentation

Question

I need to print a multiline paragraph with the first line indented using jsPDF.
I splitted my text with .splitTextToSize function using option textIndent.
Then used .text to render the result. See code below :
doc = mbjsPDF({
orientation: 'portrait',
unit: 'mm',
format: 'a4'
});
var text = "To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune";
var textTab = doc.splitTextToSize(text, 100, {textIndent: 30});
doc.text(10, 20, textTab);
doc.save('test.pdf');
Actual result:
To be, or not to be, that is
the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the
mind to suffer The slings and arrows of
outrageous fortune
Expected result: (I want the first line shifted by 30mm)
To be, or not to be, that is
the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the
mind to suffer The slings and arrows of
outrageous fortune

Answer 1

Not sure about option textIndent, but if you have only one paragraph, you may simply add a tab to the beginning of that paragraph.
var textTab = doc.splitTextToSize(' ' + text, 100);
I mainly use jsPDF to convert HTML to PDF. If you just want to convert plain text, maybe you can consider pdfmake as well. It has an auto page break and is easy to add the margin, etc.
<script src="http://pdfmake.org/build/pdfmake.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://pdfmake.org/build/vfs_fonts.js"></script>
<script>
function print() {
// open the PDF in a new window
pdfMake.createPdf(dd).open();
}
var dd = {
content: [{
leadingIndent: 30,
lineHeight: 1.5, // optional
text: "To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune"
}]
}
</script>

textIndent is used for the space between lines, it's really confusing!
You could make the first line a seperate text component. Than you can change the x parameter of the Text class.
