DIV {width: 400px;}P {text-indent: 5%;}<P>This paragraph is contained inside a DIV which is 400px wide, so thefirst line of the paragraph is indented 20px (400 * 5% = 20).  This is becausepercentages are computed with respect to the width of the parent element.</P>

Figure 7-37. Margins, backgrounds, and borders

The border's width is, by default, medium , as we can see in Figure 7-37. We can change that to the result in Figure 7-38 as follows: 

P {margin: 5px; background-color: silver;
border-style: solid; border-width: thick;}
