Hello.

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask this, but I think it is.

I am getting ready to post a new chapter to my story soon and in it there is a letter. I seem to recall that usually letters are put in italics and indented. Is this correct?

If it is, what is the html code that will indent the letter? Or does it have to stay left-aligned?

Thanks and I hope no one minds my asking this here. I figured it was better than e-mailing the Yahoo! Group. Smile

Indenting is a pain in the butt on html so I would just make them italic to indicate that it is a letter. That's what most authors seem to do. Just make sure it is clearly defined as a letter by leaving line breaks and such.

Ok. I'll just do that then. Sounds much simpler. Thank you so much! Cheers!
