Spacing in html page
I am using internal style sheet in my page and when I use indent option, the lines do get indented, but there is always double space between each line I am trying to indent.
Besides, if the sentence goes to second line, the second line is not indented. It flushes to the left while the first line is indented.
How do I fix this?

text-indent is only supposed to add the indentation at the beginning of the element. If you want the whole thing indented then us padding or use a list instead of a paragraph. the line spacing is because it looks like the code is invalid.
take the code to: http://validator.w3.org/ and validate it. after you fix the errors it might be a little better.

The page does not have to be online. You can enter the code with a cut and paste.

what other tags can I use besides the P tag? I believe my issue is that when I use the P tag to bold, underline or use other elements, it assumes a paragraph and creates extra line above and below the tag.
The p tag and any other block elements include a linefeed. If you do not want a line feed then use an inline element like a span.

I have fixed the problem myself. I shouldn't be using P tag for bold or underline a specific word(s). I should be using HTML Reference guide to point me to basics to help me achieve what I was looking for. In my case...
Underline = <u>...</u>
Bold= <b>...</b>
These are some basic HTML reference guide that I was seeking help on. My html file had no error otherwise and needed no othe changes.
I have achieved what I was looking for. Thanks for your suggestions but I found my own solution.
