Thanks for this thread, TPT.

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.

You can make a basic table like this for perfect margins.

To learn how to make tables, either source my code here or go to Google and type in "html table tutorial."

Tables are easy and fun. I'd like to see examples of your and others' table art on this thread.

Cut and paste my coding and fool with numbers, colors, and content. Post your results!
