Text Indentation


Syntax: text-indent: <value>
Possible Values: <length> | <percentage>
Initial Value: 0
Applies to: Block-level elements
Inherited: Yes

The text-indent property can be applied to block-level elements (P, H1, etc.) to define the amount of indentation that the first line of the element should receive. The value must be a length or a percentage; percentages refer to the parent element's width. A common use of text-indent would be to indent a paragraph:

P { text-indent: 5em }
