Paragraph indents from command line

What is the exact command to change the amount of the paragraph indents from the command line please? Thanks!

For conversion to which format?

Code:

--override-css "p {text-indent: whatever}"

It did not actually work in this case.

mobi2lrf --top-margin=0 --bottom-margin=0 --left-margin=0 --right-margin=0 --override-css "p {text-indent: 1%}" --wordspace=1 --base-font-size=9.9 "..\Narnia 01 - The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.prc"

I still got a 5% margin.

I've also used mobi2oeb to explode the prc and the code for the 5% margin is <p style="text-indent: 5%">

I tried html2lrf with the same options as above and it still gave me the 5% margin.

unfortuantely for LRF conversion override-css doesn't override style declarations that are in attributes IIRC. Try converting to epub first and then to LRF.

I know I can use mobi2oeb and then edit the html and convert from there. But I was hoping I could save a couple of steps.
