Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
ParagraphFormat format = doc.FirstSection.Body.FirstParagraph.ParagraphFormat;

// Below are five different spacing options, along with the properties that their configuration indirectly affects.
// 1 -  Left indent:
Assert.AreEqual(format.LeftIndent, 0.0d);

format.CharacterUnitLeftIndent = 10.0;

Assert.AreEqual(format.LeftIndent, 120.0d);

// 2 -  Right indent:
Assert.AreEqual(format.RightIndent, 0.0d); 

format.CharacterUnitRightIndent = -5.5;

Assert.AreEqual(format.RightIndent, -66.0d);

// 3 -  Hanging indent:
Assert.AreEqual(format.FirstLineIndent, 0.0d);

format.CharacterUnitFirstLineIndent = 20.3;

Assert.AreEqual(format.FirstLineIndent, 243.59d, 0.1d);

// 4 -  Line spacing before paragraphs:
Assert.AreEqual(format.SpaceBefore, 0.0d);

format.LineUnitBefore = 5.1;

Assert.AreEqual(format.SpaceBefore, 61.1d, 0.1d);

// 5 -  Line spacing after paragraphs:
Assert.AreEqual(format.SpaceAfter, 0.0d);

format.LineUnitAfter = 10.9;

Assert.AreEqual(format.SpaceAfter, 130.8d, 0.1d);

builder.Writeln("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, " +
                "sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.");
builder.Write("测试文档测试文档测试文档测试文档测试文档测试文档测试文档测试文档测试" +
