Indenting a Paragraph
You can indent a single paragraph using styles. For example, suppose we want to indent a paragraph 50 points. First we create a class called
indented with the following style rules. Put this code in the <HEAD> section of your document.
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
<!--
.indented
{
padding-left: 50pt;
padding-right: 50pt;
}
-->
</STYLE>
Now we set the class of the paragraph to
indented by
adding a CLASS attribute to the <P ...> tag:
<P CLASS="indented">
The paragraph
Which gives us an indented paragraph:
You don't know about me without you have read a
book by the name of The Adventures of Tom
Sawyer; but that ain't no matter. That book was
made by Mr. Mark Twain, and he told the truth,
mainly. There was things which he stretched, but
mainly he told the truth. That is nothing. I never
seen anybody but lied one time or another, without it
was Aunt Polly, or the widow, or maybe Mary. Aunt
Polly -- Tom's Aunt Polly, she is -- and Mary, and
the Widow Douglas is all told about in that book,
which is mostly a true book, with some stretchers, as
I said before. - Opening to Huck Finn
