Description:
The text-indent property defines an indentation distance for the first line of text in a block-level element.
Possible Values:
- length: Any length value. Negative lengths are permitted for the property, and will produce a "hanging indent" effect.
- percentage: The first line of text is indented by a distance relative to the width of the element's containing block.
Applies to:
All the block-level elements.
DOM Syntax:
| object.style.textIndent="20px"; |
Example:
Following is the example which demonstrates how to indent the first line of a paragraph:
<p style="text-indent:1cm;">
This text will have first line indented by 1cm
and this line will remain at its actual position
this is done by CSS text-indent property.
</p>
|
