That sounds like a job for padding.
css Code:
Original
- css Code
p {
line-height:1.4em;
text-indent: 10px;
padding:10px;
}
Although, if you're using em for your line units, you really ought to be using em's for your indentation and padding units as well.
I'd recommend reworking a little bit. You're specifying a body text size of 76%, which is not a standard size. You should make that 75% or use one of the values below. Your value falls between standard sizes.
12px = 0.75em = 75% = 9pt
With all of that established in em's, you can go back and adjust your paddings.
Based on a body font size of 0.75em (75%, or 12px), a 10px space is 0.833em.
Voila! Liquid layout to your specifications.
css Code:
Original
- css Code
/* basic formatting */
body {
font:0.75em normal Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,"Sans Serif";
text-indent:0.833em;
}
h1 {
font:1.7em Georgia,"Times New Roman",Helvetica,Verdana,"Sans Serif";
text-indent:0.833em;
}
p {
line-height:1.4em;
text-indent:0.833em;
padding:0.833em;
}
