The theoretical way to control this in CSS is with the margin
properties:
h1,
h2,
h3, { margin-bottom: 0pt }
h1+p,
h2+p,
h3+p { margin-top: 0pt;
text-indent: 1em }
As to what actually *works*, see <URL:http://style.webreview.com/>.
According to their compatibility chart, text-indent works with NS 4,
IE 3, and IE 4, while margin-* works in NS 4, and as a length (not a
percentage) in IE 4. In IE 3, margin-top works as a percentage on
Windows but not Macintosh, but margin-bottom doesn't work at all.
