 here. Use xref to Lisp Manual.

 @cindex @code{lisp-indent-function} property
   You can override the standard pattern in various ways for individual
-functions, according to the @code{lisp-indent-function} property of the
-function name.  There are four possibilities for this property:
-
-@table @asis
-@item @code{nil}
-This is the same as no property---use the standard indentation pattern.
-@item @code{defun}
-Handle this function like a @samp{def} construct: treat the second
-line as the start of a @dfn{body}.
-@item a number, @var{number}
-The first @var{number} arguments of the function are
-@dfn{distinguished} arguments; the rest are considered the body
-of the expression.  A line in the expression is indented according to
-whether the first argument on it is distinguished or not.  If the
-argument is part of the body, the line is indented @code{lisp-body-indent}
-more columns than the open-parenthesis starting the containing
-expression.  If the argument is distinguished and is either the first
-or second argument, it is indented @emph{twice} that many extra columns.
-If the argument is distinguished and not the first or second argument,
-the line uses the standard pattern.
-@item a symbol, @var{symbol}
-@var{symbol} should be a function name; that function is called to
-calculate the indentation of a line within this expression.  The
-function receives two arguments:
-@table @asis
-@item @var{state}
-The value returned by @code{parse-partial-sexp} (a Lisp primitive for
-indentation and nesting computation) when it parses up to the
-beginning of this line.
-@item @var{pos}
-The position at which the line being indented begins.
-@end table
-@noindent
-It should return either a number, which is the number of columns of
-indentation for that line, or a list whose car is such a number.  The
-difference between returning a number and returning a list is that a
-number says that all following lines at the same nesting level should
-be indented just like this one; a list says that following lines might
-call for different indentations.  This makes a difference when the
-indentation is being computed by @kbd{C-M-q}; if the value is a
-number, @kbd{C-M-q} need not recalculate indentation for the following
-lines until the end of the list.
-@end table
+functions, according to the @code{lisp-indent-function} property of
+the function name.  Normally you would use this for macro definitions
+and specify it using the @code{declare} construct (@pxref{Defining
+Macros,,, elisp, the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual}).
