rhino79 · 05-06-2013, 12:09 AM

Let's say I have a block quote with three paragraphs. The desired result would have a bit of space above the first paragraph and a bit of space after the last paragraph, and the entire block will be indented right.

My question is this: what is the standard way of achieving this... styling each paragraph or wrapping the paragraphs in a div and styling the div? With paragraphs, its necessary to have a style for the first paragraph (space above), the middle (no spacing) and the last paragraph (space below). This is rather tedious. The alternative would be to place the paragraphs in a div and style the div with space on top and bottom.

What's the "correct" way to do this?
