How can I prevent quoted text from being indented?

  • I just installed the graphene theme and all of my quoted text has been automatically indented. How can I prevent this as it messes up the formatting on a regular feature we run?

  • Without seeing your site, it’s hard to say exactly, but graphene does have a bunch of CSS styles assigned to the <blockquote> tags — so if you are using those for quoted text, you would need to change the CSS to remove the indentation.

    This is the likely relevant CSS:

    blockquote {
	background: url(images/sprite_master.png) left -475px no-repeat #f3f3f3;
	border: 1px dotted #e3e3e3;
	clear: both;
	margin: 10px 0 10px 10px;
	padding: 8px 18px 5px 10px;
}
blockquote p {
	color: #474747 !important;
	margin-bottom: 5px;
	margin-top: 0 !important;
	text-indent: 35px;
}

    Firebug is a great tool for looking at what CSS is affecting a specific element on your pages.

    A belated thanks for this; it was exactly what I was looking for.

    Firebug is my “last resort” when Google fails me. ??
