Hi all -- I've been preparing a story for upload, including to the Kindle store, and I ran across a problem I've not noticed before. I have a block of quoted text that's indented from both left and right. The indentation looks good in Word, in html, in epub (at least in ADE), but not in mobi.

The mobi version displays with no indentation on the right, so the thing looks lopsided. This is true in K4PC and in Kindle previewer, and in Mobi Reader.

I saw one website stating that Kindle does not support right indentation. That would seem weird, but is it true?

(Also, the epub shows the same behavior in the Calibre viewer. But it's okay in ADE.)
