Word Wrap / Indent

HTML & CSS

Is there a way through CSS to indent a line when the line wraps it ??

i’m not sure i understand the second part of your question (“when the line wraps it”). do you mean only to indent if it’s longer than a single line ?
in any case, the indenting as such can be achieved with this http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1#text-indent

Sorry if I was little vague.

I want and indent when the line is too long for the div.

How about setting margin-left to a positive value, and text-indent to a negative value?


<style type="text/css">
 p {
    margin-left: 30px;
    text-indent: -10px;
}
</style>

This will make your first line start further to the left than each subsequent line.

When I first read your reply Garcia, I wasn’t sure what you meant, and now I have seen it in action, it makes perfect sense, and gives a perfect result, thank you very much.

Heh, sorry about the choppy explanation, but I’m glad you got the layout you wanted! :slight_smile:
