Block indent

Hi there, don't know if anyone's listening to this comm anymore, but I could use some help with a skin.

AO3 doesn't support the indent [ div style="margin-left: 40px"] tag, insisting that the [blockquote] tag is equivalent, but it isn't, as a [blockquote] tag places a border around the text. I have no experience with skins or how to write one. I've looked at various tutorials but can't figure out how to make one work for the simple task of indenting multiple paragraphs.

Can anyone help?

Hi,

What, exactly, do you want to indent? Is it the work itself, the first line of each paragraph or only some of those?

Another option with still using the blockquote option is to add the following to a workskin:
#workskin blockquote {
border-left: none;
}

And that'll remove the border, but it'll affect all your blockquotes.
