:A colon at the beginning of the first line will indent the remaining paragraph.

• More colons = more indention.
• This will work only with the colon at the beginning of a new line. Otherwise it will show up a regular colon.

<blockquote>It is easy using the '''blockquote''' html tag, which indents both margins instead of the left margin only as the colon does.</blockquote>

• The colon method is generally preferred, but this technique works well when the right needs to be indented as well.
