Question 2: Has anyone found a plug-in that will provide the ability to indent some paragraphs, but not all? (I have looked, in vain!) Question 1: Why is this capability not built in to WordPress, after all these years? So, for students trying to learn what a paragraph is, this is just confusing. Sometimes this works other times it does not. This is useless for those who want to indent the first line of some paragraphs, but not all.
