Epub and negative indentation
Reference books and dictionaries have negative indentation, i.e. a word in a dictionary sticks out to the left of its definition. I know that in Mobipocket negative indentation can done with: <p width="-X"> . How do I do it in Epub?

I will be posting the cleaned up HTML source files of the various things I download. Given that some of the titles will have over a thousand files, I think it would be best to have it set up properly before I give it to you.

It's called a "hanging indent". This should work:

<p style="margin-left:1cm;text-indent:-1cm">

Adjust values to suit.

Yep, margins and text-indent can be negative, not padding, though.

Thanks.

Will the hanging indentation work in LRF?

Yep, this should work. I'd just use em units instead of cm.
