Hi all!
I shall probably be a frequent questioner in the next few days, as I get close to launching my new (rather large) site.
Is it acceptable to indent the odd heading using the 'list' tool in HTML Editor?
<ol type="a">
<li><b> Generic use of the masculine gender</b> </li>
</ol>
or is there a better way? These are not headings as such and I do not really want to set up <h*></h*> just for these little chaps!

It would be better to use a "local style"

Something like:
<h3 style="text-indent:15px">

I know you believe you understand what you think I said...but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not exactly what I meant.

Tiger, I am obliged, especially as my idea does not work. The little headings are one-liners and sparadic throughout the page, so on inserting the next one it insists on being "a" again.
Your advice is much better, thank you.
