I've run across a book from PG that uses a lot of the following to format poetry.

Code:

style="margin-left: 65%;"
style="margin-left: 33%;"

I could build

Code:

.marginleft65{
margin-left: 65%;
}
.marginleft33{
margin-left: 33%;
}

I began to wonder if there is some way to parameterize a CSS definition so that the actual value can be inserted as needed. e.g.

Code:

.marginleft{
margin-left: ??;
}

I've done a lot of searching throught the references but no luck. Probably not possible,
