CSS The text-indent property I do not understand why you would use this when the </br> tag takes the text back to the left hand side of the page, and as soon as I start a new class the first line of text in a paragraph even with a class it imprints onto every other paragraph like it or not. Why is this please? | Sololearn: Learn to code for FREE!

Thank you for the reply but I wanted to find a way to indent one paragraph and leave the rest as normal by default text, I did this in the end by giving the text-indent a class of none then in my css: p.none{ text-decoration:none; text-indent:60px; } This made the indented text work only in the paragraph with <p class="none">text example</p> and every normal <p></p> paragraph came out as it would normally come out. If this was also helpful to anyone else please like and comment thank you.
