I Shot the Serif
Example: A Simple Bibliography

Our next example attempts to recreate the first few entries in a
simple scientific bibliography (this one is borrowed from my
University Mathematics textbook). The text-decoration
property is used to underline author names, the
font-style property is used to make book titles italic,
and the text-indent property is used in a very
interesting fashion: by giving a negative value, we create a
"hanging indent" for our entries. Also, the familiar
text-align property is used to justify our entries.
.bibliography P { text-align: justify; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: 2cm; margin-right: 1cm; text-indent: -1cm; } .bibliography P SPAN.title { font-style: italic; }
