Thanks Lukasz.
I tested my solution in MSIE6 and Firefox before sending it too.
They both behaved per spec, indenting only the first line of
each paragraph.
If the intention was to indent the whole paragraph, my suggestion
would have been along the lines of p { margin-left: 1em }

This will indent the whole paragraph, while Alan is only trying to indent
the first line.

[WSG] paragraph indent
I wanted to get my paragraphs to indent on a site so I tried the most
intuitive thing:
p:first-line{padding:1em}
It did nothing. I tested a couple other things to make sure I was doing
the right thing, but it appears that I can only change the font values.
Then I tried this:
p:before{float:left;width:1em;height:1em;}
didn't work either. I toyed around with it a bit and it looks like
float:left doesn't work on :before stuff.
So finally I tried this:
p:before{content:'mmm';visibility:hidden;}
and it works as expected. This is something of a hack, but as far as I
know, it should work on all CSS2 browsers. Any better suggestions on how
to do this?
