text-indent


This property indents the text in the first line of a block-level element. Values can be defined as length values (.5cm, 15px, 12pt, and so on) or as a percentage of the width of the block element. The default value is 0, which indicates no indentation.

Examples


p {text-indent: 5pt;}
#section1 {text-indent: 15%;}
