I have been working on one article for hours and am so irritated, I want to throw my entire joomla project through a window. It takes forever to get one article looking even remotely right, and I can not for the life of me get rid of the damned indentations in the paragraphs.

When I go into the html editor, it looks like it should not include any indentations. As soon as I hit "save", it fills up the html with all kinds of crap I haven't coded. And not all paragraphs are indented. ACK!!! I'm so frustrated!!!


Here's the article (supposed to be a blog, but don't get me started on all the mistakes my so called developer has made):
http://allwestcommunication.com/index.p ... -marketing

SO UNPROFESSIONAL. I am ready to give up.

Reviewed the site and the indentation is caused by the following css entry that is available in the file screen.css that is located in the directory /templates/atomic/css/blueprint/plugins/fancy-type
Code:
/* Indentation instead of line shifts for sibling paragraphs. */
   p + p { text-indent:2em; margin-top:-1.5em; }
You could remove the attribute text-indent:2em; from the css entry.

Note:
(a) Make a copy of the file before editing it

(b) As the template Atomic that is being used in the site is built using BluePrint CSS framework, review of the sites http://www.garethjmsaunders.co.uk/blueprint/cheatsheets/ and https://github.com/joshuaclayton/blueprint-css/wiki/Plugins would be of help.

[Edit] changed the file name from scree.css to screen.css

Thank you. My dev picked the template and it has given me nothing but trouble. I will see if I can make that change without screwing anything up!! And I will make a back up before I do anything. Appreciate the help.



EDIT: Well....hmm....I have searched and searched this file and can't find that particular line of code. I'll see if I can find it somewhere else. But thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

In that file look at line #11:

Code:
/* --------------------------------------------------------------

   fancy-type.css
   * Lots of pretty advanced classes for manipulating text.

   See the Readme file in this folder for additional instructions.

-------------------------------------------------------------- */

/* Indentation instead of line shifts for sibling paragraphs. */
   p + p { text-indent:2em; margin-top:-1.5em; }

Re-downloaded and opened in another text editor and it worked fine. Thanks to both of you for the tip. Now the articles are starting to come together.
