You can indent the first line of paragraphs using the text-indent attribute.
The Padding attribute sets the amount of space between an element and its
border; the margin attribute sets the amount of space around the outside of an
element.
The Border-style attribute places a border around a paragraph. To specify the
appearance of the border, use one of the following arguments: solid, dotted, dashed,
double, groove, ridge, inset, outset, or none.
To set the width of a border, use the border-width attribute followed by the width in
pixels (px).
To set the color of a border, use the border-color attribute followed by the color
name or the RGB or hexadecimal notation for the color.
To format each side of a border individually, specify four arguments, in clockwise
order from the top: top, right, bottom, left. For example, border-style: solid none solid
bottom.
To specify the style, color, and size of a border in a single command, use the border
attribute and specify the arguments in this order: size, color, style. For example,
border: 2px green dotted.
To set paragraph alignment, use the text-align attribute with one of these arguments:
left, center, right, or justify.
To set the line height, use the line-height attribute followed by the height expressed
in pixels or as a percentage of the font height.
