-<p>A lot of developers tend to do the bare minimum when it comes to implementing proper website typography. This isn't an insult - I'm happy that typography is given any thought at all during development, I just believe more can always be done to improve upon it.</p>

+
<p>Browser support is actually pretty great for such a regularly over-looked CSS property. All major desktop and mobile browsers support it:</p>
-<p><figure>
- <img src="/public/images/text-indent-compatibility.webp" alt="Text indent browser compatibility">
- <figcaption>Full support across all browsers.</figcaption>
-</figure></p>
-<p>Now that doesn't mean you should just slap this property on all your type elements and call it a day - there are specific use cases for <code>text-indent</code> and some basic rules to follow:</p>

+<p>Now that doesn&#8217;t mean you should just slap this property on all your type elements and call it a day - there are specific use cases for <code>text-indent</code> and some basic rules to follow:</p>
+
+<h2 id="use-cases">Use Cases</h2>
+
<ol>
<li>Increasing readability of large text blocks that would otherwise overwhelm the reader</li>
<li>Replicating book or report typography layouts</li>
</ol>
-<h2>Basic Rules</h2>
+
+<h2 id="basic-rules">Basic Rules</h2>
+
<ol>
<li>Best to set this property on inner type children only - meaning items like <code>p</code> or <code>blockquotes</code> instead of main headings</li>
-<li>When used on paragraph tags it's best to target only <code>p</code> elements that directly follow a sibling tag (see "The CSS" below)</li>

</ol>
-<h2>The CSS</h2>
+
+<h2 id="the-css">The CSS</h2>
+
<p>Adding the property is extremely trivial, all you need is the following:</p>
-<pre><code>/* Best practice for paragraphs */
+
+<pre><code>&#47;* Best practice for paragraphs *&#47;
p + p {
- text-indent: 1rem; /* whatever you want */
+ text-indent: 1rem; &#47;* whatever you want *&#47;
}
</code></pre>
