But, because the DOCX format doesn't understand the CSS box model, you end up with the direct styling of paragraphs instead of using an enclosing box.
As far as I know, there aren't any WYSIWYG editors that allow you to create a "box" and use relative margins on a group of paragraphs. Even ones that are designed for eBook editing don't have this feature.
And, you can only apply one style to a paragraph in the DOCX format, so you can't take advantage of
class="indent spacebefore", so you end up with way too many individual paragraph styles. Even I'm guilty of this a bit, because most of my EPUBs were targeted at my first reader (Onyx Boox), and it couldn't handle multiple classes in the attribute. So, I have both "indent" and "indentspacebefore" classes.
