- Question 1:
- We are looking for a better way to handle hanging indents. We are attempting
- to position a lift-justified term adjacent to its definition. For example:
-
- TERM DEFINITION
-
- XXXXXX Xxxxx xxxxxx xxxx xxxxxxxxxx xx xxxx xxxxxxxx xx xxxxxxxx xx xx
- xxx xx xxxxxxxx xx xxxxxx.
-
- XXXXXX Xxxxx xxxxxx xxxx xxxxxxxxxx xx xxxx xxxxxxxx xx xxxxxxxx xx xx
- xxx xx xxxxxxxx xx xxxxxx.
-
- We are presently doing this by use of a hanging indent. Is there is better
- or simpler way for doing this?
-
- Is there a way of setting up or creating separate tags for both the Term and
- the Definition?
-
- Question 2:
- We also are attempting to position a left-justified term such as an error
- message adjacent to its description and meaning. For example:
-
- MESSAGE DESCRIPTION RESPONSE
-
- XXXXXX Xxxxx xxxxxx xxxx xxxxxxxxxx Xxxx xxxxxxxx xx xxxxxxxx xx xx
- xxx xx xxxxxxxx xx xxxxxx. xxx xxxx xxxxxxxxx.
-
- XXXXXX Xxxxx xxxxxx xxxx xxxxxxxxxx Xxxx xxxxxxxx xx xxxxxxxx xx xx
- xxx xx xxxxxxxx xx xxxxxx. xxx xxxx xxxxxxxxx.
-
- Is there a better or simpler way of doing this other than creating a table?
-
-
- Thanks in advance.
