Re: Best way to indent in HTML

[Larry Hoffenberg <LarryHoff -at- WORLDNET -dot- ATT -dot- NET>]

Taking a different approach, if I have a lot of text that I want to indent,
I'll put it all into a four or five column table and merge the cells within
each row as needed to achieve the indentation effect. Despite their flaws, a
good WYSIWYG editor makes doing this a breeze.

All you hard-core coders out there, are there any unforeseen or unintended
consequences to such an approach for handing complex indentation?

Thanks,
