Again, there is no reliable way to do this. Netscape will
indent text inside a <BLOCKQUOTE>, but other browsers don't
have to do this. These could show the text in italics, or
perhaps with quotation marks around the text. This could
come out very strange.
An alternative is to use <DL> without <DT> and <DD>, which
is invalid HTML, but several browsers work around this error
by indenting the text inside it. This is not guaranteed to
work.
If you are willing to use tables for layout purposes, there
is another option. Create a one-cell table, as follows:
<CENTER>
<TABLE width="805px">
<TR><TD><DIV align=left>
<!-- The text goes here -->
</DIV>
</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
</CENTER>
A drawback to this solution is that very long blocks inside
a table may take a while to download and may not appear
until the entire table has been downloaded. Another drawback
is that it may force users to resize their viewing window
after they have become accustomed to their preferred settings.
