I tried to use the definition list once bu the indent was larger than I 
wanted it to be. Is there a way to control how many spaces the 
indent on the <dl></dl>tag will be?

Hi Martha, use a definition list.

<dl>
 <dt>Header</dt>
  <dd>First line of your list</dd>
  <dd>Second line of your list</dd>
</dl>

Good luck,

Gerd
