is there a way to do negative indent for paragraphs, as in a dialogues?
(i.e. in Microsoft word, drag the top margin triangle to the left,
bottom to the right, then press tab after each person's name)
here's a rather a hack after some 20 minutes diddling.
<style type="text/css">
p.dg {margin-top:5px; margin-bottom:5px;}
</style>
<div style="background-color:yellow; padding:1ex;">
<div style="text-indent:-7ex; margin-left:7ex;">
<p class="dg">Ursula: Have we got a deal?</p>
<p class="dg">Ariel: If I become human, I'll never be with my father or
sisters again.</p>
<p class="dg">Ursula: But you'll have your man. Life's full of tough
choices, isn't? Oh — and there is one more thing. We haven't
discussed the subject of payment.</p>
<p class="dg">Ariel: But I don't have any —</p>
<p class="dg">Ursula: I'm not asking much. Just a token, really, a
trifle. What I want from you is... your voice.</p>
<p class="dg">Ariel: But without my voice, how can I —</p>
<p class="dg">Ursula: You'll have your looks! Your pretty face! And
don't underestimate the importance of body language! Ha!</p>
