Is it possible to indent paragraphs under an indented Header?

I do appreciate the ability to edit templates!!! I see I can set the margins and padding for Headers and paragraphs independently. But if I ever want to give a Header a left margin, it only makes sense to give the text below it the same indent (I can't think of situation where I would ever indent the header and not the text below it). Unfortunately, whatever I set the left margin to of the Paragraph style is what it is going to be, no matter what Heading the text is under. 

What would be cool is to have a Paragraph 1, Paragraph 2, ..., up to Paragraph 6 to represent the Paragraphs that follow a specific Heading. Then you could generate something that looks like this:

Let me know if there is a way I can do this now. Otherwise, consider this an enhancement request.

Thanks!

  Hi Roy, 

  Thanks for reaching out to us. 

  At the moment, it is only possible to apply indentations to the Paragraph style as a whole – we, unfortunately, do not specify different levels for the Paragraph style. This means an association between different heading levels indentations and a Paragraph style which follows, is not currently possible.

  This is a feature which hasn't been requested before and I have, therefore, created a feature request in our Jira system which pertains to this. You can track this here: https://k15t.jira.com/browse/EXP-2308 

  Please sign up to our Jira (via https://k15t.jira.com/secure/Signup!default.jspa) system in order to watch, comment and/or vote on this issue. We'll then send a notification for every status update. 

  In the meantime, one workaround to achieve your desired formatting would be to apply the indentation option on your Confluence page for the Paragraph style (using the standard Confluence button). You can then apply the relevant indentation to your heading levels – I mapped selecting the Confluence indentation button once to 22pts in the template when you have numbered heading enabled (Heading level > Section > Margin (pt) > Left). Once you've set this, you can then have text indented with the heading you choose to apply a margin too.

  I hope this information helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions, 

  Thanks, Thomas (K15t Software)
