&nbsb Size

[Keeper4826]

I have text with multiple paragraphs. I want the first line of each paragraph
to be indented. I plan to use CSS to set the <p> tag to indent. However, using
this tag for each paragraph produces space between each paragraph - which is
not desired. To get around that, I plan to cheat by using <br> tags and then
inputing nonbreaking space at the beginning of each paragraph except the first.

I need to know how much &nbsb provides. How is it measured (in exs)? This will
help me determine how much indendation to set in my style sheet for <p>.

Why not use CSS to control the top/bottom margins of those <p> tags? No
cheat involved there.

I don't see where to do this in the CSS style definition box. I would have
assumed it would be in the Block category.

Nope - box. It's margin-top and margin-bottom, e.g.,

p { margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0; }

or better -

p { margin:0; }

Adjust the values to suit....
