<cd:description><!-- the long description of the command goes here -->
Make the margins wider on the left, the right, or (default) both sides. By default the margin(s) is/are made wider by 0.5cm; to change these distances, use {{cmd|setupnarrower}}, or use {{cmd|startnarrow}}. Using <code>\startnarrower[left=2cm]</code> does not work.
== Tip ==
By preceding the argument with a negative sign (eg. <code>\startnarrower[<tt>-2*left</tt>]</code>) the text area can be made wider, rather than narrower.

\startnarrower
(default, middle=0.5cm) Their hoard is beyond reason; avarice has no use
for it; they have a separate cellar for emeralds and a separate cellar for
sapphires; they have filled a hole with gold and dig it up when they need it.
\stopnarrower
\startnarrower[left,right]
(1cm left, 3cm right) And the only use that is known for their ridiculous
wealth is to attract to their larder a continual supply of food.
\stopnarrower
\setupnarrower[middle=1cm]
\startnarrower
(1cm middle) In times of famine they have even been known
to scatter rubies abroad, a little trail of them to some city of Man, and
sure enough their larders would soon be full again.
