Block Attributes:
Often applied to the <p> tag.
Block attributes controll spacing and alignment of text.
•word spacing: to adjust
space between words
(only supported by Netscape 6)
•letter spacing: to
adjust space between characters
(unsupported by IE and Netscape 4: only version 6 of both)
•vertical alignment: helps you align text and images such as in a table cell so all text lines up with the "top" of the image, or the "middle" of the image, etc.
•text alignment: sets alignment of text on a page to center left or right.
•text indent: applies
a tab indent to the first line of text in a block. (This doesn't work with the
<p> tag. You have to make a new class and call it with the span tag).
ex. in style sheet
.indent {text-indent: 40px; font-weight: lighter; vertical-alignment:
baseline}
use in page:
<p>This is a paragraph.<br /><span class="indent">Indent
this section</span></p>
•Whitespace: controls the ignoring of white space or blank html space, useful with the <pre> tag.
