How do you indent text

In the standard editor, use some html and css to indent your text.

<div style="text-indent: 1cm;">

The first line of this paragraph will have an indentation of one centimeter. The css text-indent only indents the first line. There are other units; instead of 1cm, you can write 0.5in or 30px for example.

</div>

<div style="margin-left: 1cm;">

This entire paragraph has a left margin of one centimeter. The css margin-left indents the entire paragraph.

</div>

Every div tag needs a matching /div tag to close. Also, there needs to a blank line after the div and before the /div so that WikiStyle will think that you are indenting a paragraph.

<div style="margin-left: 1cm;">This text is indented, but it is not a paragraph, so it does not have a blank line after it.</div>

And there will be now blank line before this paragraph. Try pasting this entire reply into a wiki sandbox.

(And here on getsatisfaction.com, it seems that I have to use &lt; and &gt; to write the < and > signs in the above reply.)

Thanks, i'll try that out now. I'm still getting used to this new fangled place myself. have to admit i preferred the old forum-style, but whatever.

Thanks again for the help.It should clean up the mess a little.
