[pmwiki-users] Re: How to indent first line of a paragraph only?

Hello,
In reference to:

1. Para's(or any Block's) First-Line indent:
CSS:
.line-indent {
text-indent: 20px;
margin-left: 20px;
}
MARKUP (_|)
_|Some text with its first line indent. Some text with its first line indent. 
Some text with its first line indent.

For more indenting:
__|

2. Para's(or any Block's) First-Line outdent:
CSS:
.line-outdent {
text-indent: -20px;
margin-left: 20px;
}
MARKUP (|_)
|_Some text with its first line outdent. Some text with its first line 
outdent. Some text with its first line outdent.

For more outdentation:
|__

Presently, 
'->' does indenting for the "whole para", whereas 
'-<' does para outdenting for the first-line(same as 2 above but with 40px 
margin-left). If the overall left-margin has to be maintained then 40px for 
outdenting would be better.

I hope the markup is ok and easy to remember or should we use the other way 
around?
Regards.
