That's easy. Something line this.. <p class="noindent">text</p> and in css, you have noindent set to have a text-indent of 0. That would give the paragraph no indent. Thn you have the CSS set to giver an indent for the paragraphs where you want an indent.

A lot of commercial eBooks use <p class="tx1">text</p> for no indent and <p class='tx"text</p> for an indent.

But you will have to go in and make the manual edits. Unless of course, your source is alread set that way.
