Hi Joe... I hope this is what you need but I don't think I'd call it klugey.
It's seems to me to be the intended use of the CSS properties. I've tested
it in several browsers on Windows and Mac platforms. It seems to work in all
4+ version browsers besides Opera.
p {
margin-left:25px;
text-indent:-25px;
}
I have an example on my site:

Like I said, I hope that's what you want. If not, let me know what you
intended. The only bugs I've had with this appear to be with Netscape 4 nto
recognizing a complex selector such as "table#data td.list p" or something
like it. But then, NS4 has that problem with all CSS, not just hanging
indents. ;)
Later.
