Indenting only the first line of text in a paragraph?

Question

I have several paragraphs that I would like to indent, although only the first lines of these paragraphs.

How would I target just the first lines using CSS or HTML?<

Answer 1

In addition to text-indent, you can use the :first-line selector if you wish to apply additional styles.

p:first-line {
    color:red;
}

p {
    text-indent:40px;
}
