Is there any way to indent a paragraph in a blog post? I’m using WeaverThemes Solitude.
Hi @gallifrey55,
Sure, follow the below steps:
Highlight each paragraph and select “Paragraph” from the HTML selector
Add the below custom CSS to the page inspector >> HTML Code tab >> CSS tab
p {
text-indent: 5%;
}
You can substitute the 5% with other values, such as:
text-indent: 25px;
text-indent: 2em;
text-indent: 30%;
etc.
Percentage is probably preferred for responsive design.
Hope that helps.
Thanks. That’s helpful to know, but the code only indents the first line whereas I want to indent the whole paragraph. Also (I realise I didn’t mention this before) I want to retain the paragraph formatting, in this case italic text.

It seems like “blockquote” would do what you are wanting then? It indents a whole paragraph.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding though, are you wanting all paragraphs on the page to be indented (every line), or are you just wanting a few paragraphs to be indented?
I think ‘blockquote’ is the nearest to what I want. Thanks for looking into this for me.
