Formatting Q & A as a block I'm having a challenge with hanging indents and linebreaks. the essential effect I want is:
Q: Question
A: Answer
Q: Question
A: Answer
For each question and answer, I want a hanging indent:
That way if a question or answer wraps to the next line, it will not go to the left margin but line up under Question or Answer. It's working ok for the Q: part but not A.
To keep the Q & A as one block, I'm using <br /> instead of </p> so there's no gap. I've tried defining
and using it as a span on the answer portion but to no avail.
Here's the full code of a typical block right now:
Is there any way around this? Whoever devised this original premise of a blank line between paragraphs should be shot.

use <br><br> between 2 QA block or another way is using one blank <div></div> with some style between two QA block.

This seems to work fine for me (Opera):
HTML Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
If it only works in Internet Explorer; it doesn't work.
