CSS to indent paragraphs and remove spaces
Hi,

I had formatted my book in Word to upload to Kindle, but it wasn't doing what I had hoped so I ran it through word2cleanhtml. With that, however, all the work I did on paragraph indents etc. has disappeared and I get block paragraphs with no indents and an extra space between them.

Can anyone give me the CSS styling to remove spaces between paragraphs and to indent the first line in a paragraph. (If there's something to NOT indent the first paragraph after a heading then that would be perfect.)

Thank you!

Gee! My crystal ball is broken and I can't see your existing CSS nor the classes used in the offending Paragraphs.


p { margin: 0 0 0 0; Text-indent: 1.2em; }
might work if you have no class= for the P tag
or you could have a div tag

h1 + p{ margin: 1em 0 0 0; text-indent: 0; }
Again xtal ball failure is your header a H1

Delightful. Do you speak to people that way in real life too, or is that sort of dripping sarcasm reserved for strangers on the internet?

Help can only be given when the problem is known.
To present it in sufficient details is the duty of the help-seeking one.
You gave a relative description of where your troubles lie, witholding all data needed to fix.
