both left and right? hmm I thought it was just the left :S of well

in that case it's :

p.blockquote {
margin-left:20px;
margin-right:20px;
}

Renegade, if you want it to work like blockquote, you'll need to use both margin-left and margin-right.

Also, you have some other options -- use blockquote if you want for pages using xhtml 1.0 transitional and lower, or use for pages coded xhtml strict and style the element.

btw to use it go like this This text here should imitate the block quote tag

Renegade — Mon, 03 Feb 2003 09:34:56 +0000

p.blockquote {
margin-left:20px;
}

p.blockquote {
padding-left:20px;
}

one of them works, I think it's the second one

Yes, using margins should work. I needed to indent some text here: http://www.plusp.com/classroom/lesson17.php and so I used and the .indent has the right and left margins each set at 100 px. Alternatively, I'm sure you could use a div set to a specific width.
