Hi Elizabeth,

I'm trying to get the clauses to appear with a hanging indent

Try adding a div to the body of content you want this treatment in (saving on a lot of p.classes and extraneous markup), then put this in the CSS.

div.clauses p {
 margin-left : 50px;
 text-indent : -40px;
}

The margin will create a nice gap for the indents, the neg margin should make what you want, first line only. The difference in measurement keep the indent from hitting the wall so to speak, but this could also be accomplished by adding padding to the div.

div.clauses {
 padding : 10px;
}

div.clauses p {
 margin-left : 40px;
 text-indent : -40px;
}

Someone might say it's a job for an ordered list, but the complex numbers make that impossible, moreover, these items are numbered, this is true, but not really ordered.

in IE 6 and started tearing my hair out.

Well, we can't have that so I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Mike Cherim
