  Hi all,

  I made an HTML definition list at the bottom of this post

  Outlined Notes: “Wings To Awakening”

  It indents in the editor, but on the web it doesn’t.

  Can I do anything to fix this?

  I’m guessing the CSS of the theme I am using is interfering with the <DL> and <DT> tags.

  Thanks

  Steve

  Hi Steve, not knowing how elaborate you want to get with indenting, I’ll start with this. What you want to do is add a “style” attribute to your opening dl tag so it looks like this
  <dl style="margin-left: 30px">

  Let me know what you want to do from there.

  It worked.

  I put an inline style tag in the dds.

  Thanks much thesacredpath!
