CSS question

How do you indent the first line of a paragraph in CSS? It would have to be using an inline command because I already have P declared up top. So it would look something like this:

<P style = ... </p>

Help?

Code:
<p style="text-indent:3em">

Not necessarily.
Code:
<style type="text/css">
p.indent { text-indent: 3em }
</style>

<p class="indent">
This is recommended as it would allow you to change the indentation of all paragraphs with the indent class by just changing the style sheet, which is the whole idea behind them anyway.

text-indent CSS property.
