When I post an article (start a new thread), I'd like to have a wide margin to the left and an even wider margin to the right.
BLOCKQUOTE only does a left indent, but leaves the right margin alone.
Any tips for some simple HTML code that will do the trick?

Thanks!

Trying a <table> tag would work...

This particular table is 65% as wide as the screen. If you don't see the wrap, resize your browser until you do. To duplicate this, type <table width=65%>, and don't forget to close the table with the </table> tag. Of course, you can change the width percent to your liking.

You can also stick a <blockquote> tag in to move the table in.

This table is also 65% as wide as the screen, but it has a <blockquote> tag before the <table> tag. Again, if you don't see the margins, resize the browser until you do. Don't forget to close with a </table> tag, followed by a </blockquote> tag.

The <blockquote>/<table> combo also will automatically put a line between the table and anything appearing afterward.

While the <blockquote> tag doesn't always appear to have a right margin because of word wrap, it does indent the same width as the left margin. Observe:

This blockquoted text is aligned on the right margin using the <div align=right> tag (don't forget to close with the </div> tag).

This un-blockquoted text is also aligned on the right margin.

Thanks, steve, for handling tictoc's question. I didn't even know the answer! (The only HTML I know I picked up around here!!)
