Here is an example of paragraph text:
Among the disadvantages of HTML 3.2 was you couldn't indent text. Complicating the problem was the fact that some browsers didn't support the use of the horizontal tab escape code. W3C, the organization that sets HTML standards, decided to introduce a new concept to HTML 4.0--style sheets--to keep with the original purpose of HTML. They also created a style sheet language called CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). One of the things they added to CSS was the ability to indent text. Want to try? Put style="text-indent: 3em" in your paragraph tag and see what happens when you view it in Netscape 4+ or MSIE 3+.
