L.S.
There is no simple way to make a hanging edge (or exdent) on the
introduction of a paragraph, although a negative indent with margin
shift does accomplish this. Why not introduce a exdent command in the
next version of CSS to achieve this in one go. The exdent could be a
property or class.
I make up this class for some of my sites;
span.exdent {text-indent: -36px; padding: 0, 0, 0, 36; font-size: 12px;}
However, that is rather long winded, isn't it.
What about:
<p exdent="10px"> </p>
or in a styling sheet:
p {exdent: 10px;}
