Good luck. Neil

Hi Neil, I've seen this advice before - not indenting the first para - and it struck me as odd - never having noticed it in a printed publication. So I've just done a quick check of my library and print publishers seem split - some don't indent, some do, some go for the enlarged first character. So I think it's a matter of taste.
Though, talking about removing para indents, what I'd really like to do is remove the para indent from the copyright page of my book. I've tried putting style="text-indent: 0," on the copyright paras and it works for some ebook formats via Calibre but not on most.
