I have a bunch of (old) pages that are outline-driven, and use the h1-h6
elements to define headings. Is there any way that I can create a stylesheet to
show them in an indented style? For instance, my HTML is:
<html>
<body>
<h1>Ti tle Page</h1>
Some content, perhaps the intro.
<h2>Secti on 1</h2>
Stuff about section 1.
<h2>Secti on 2</h2>
An overview of section 2.
<h3>Secti on 2a</h2>
A subsection within section 2.
<h3>Secti on 2b</h2>
Another subsection within section 2.
<h2>Secti on 3</h2>
The closing section.
</body>
</html>
and I'd like it to render as
Title Page (really big bold font)
Some content, perhaps the intro.
Section 1 (big bold font)
Stuff about section 1.
Section 2 (big bold font)
An overview of section 2.
Section 2a (big italic font)
A subsection within section 2.
Section 2b (big italic font)
Another subsection within section 2.
Section 3 (big bold font)
The closing section.
I've tried a bunch of options, but to no avail. I've even made some attempts
creating div elements underneath each heading, but a) I haven't gotten it to
work correctly, either, and b) having to change all of my pages would really
suck. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

If your use of h1-h6 is consistent, you can define each the
style/indent desired, something like
h1 {font:bold 200% arial,sans-serif;}
h2 {font:bold italic 180% arial,sans-serif;text-indent:15px;}
h3 {font:bold italic 160% arial,sans-serif;text-indent:30px;}
h4 {font:bold 140% arial,sans-serif;text-indent:45px;}
h5 {font:bold 120% arial,sans-serif;text-indent:60px;}
h6 {font: 100% arial,sans-serif;text-indent:75px;}
However, this will affect all h1-6's in the site unless you
assign a class to separate your outline from the remainder of the
page/site.

What you describe is a nested list. Use the right markup for the job.

What the OP described looks like every document that has headings at
multiple levels and content under each. The only difference is that he
wants the levels to be indented, outline style. Surely this one,
purely presentational, detail can't determine the markup that he
should use.

If the stuff has no systematic markup (maybe it even has "loose" text,
i.e. text not wrapped into any block level container?), then it seems
hopeless without modifying the markup. With modified markup, it should
be rather simple.
I've tried a bunch of options, but to no avail. I've even made

Exactly what did you try? URL?
If you just use
<div class="s">
<h2>...</h2>
stuff
<div class="s">
<h3>...</h3>
stuff
</div>
<div class="s">
<h3>...</h3>
stuff
</div>
</div>
<div class="s">
<h2>...</h2>
...
i.e. put each logical section, subsection, etc. (making the heading
part of a section) into a <div> element, then you could simply say
div.s { margin-left: 2em; }
or whatever indentation you like.
and b) having to
change all of my pages would really suck.
I don't think there's much you can do except hand-edit the pages,
unless you dare to try some automated processing that creates the <div>
markup on the basis of heading elements.
Too bad HTML was not born with <section> markup.

Well, I finally managed to get it to work...thanks to everyone who responded
with hints! My solution required me to modify my pages as follows:
<html>
<body>
<h1>Title Page</h1>
<div class="hcontent ">
Some content, perhaps the intro.
<h2>Section 1</h2>
<div class="hcontent ">
Stuff about section 1.
</div>
<h2>Section 2</h2>
<div class="hcontent ">
An overview of section 2.
<h3>Section 2a</h2>
<div class="hcontent ">
A subsection within section 2.
</div>
<h3>Section 2b</h2>
<div class="hcontent ">
Another subsection within section 2.
</div>
</div>
<h2>Section 3</h2>
<div class="hcontent ">
The closing section.
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
with a stylesheet of:
h1 {
font-size: 1.5em;
}
h2 {
font-size: 1.17em;
margin-left: 15px;
}
h3 {
margin-left: 30px;
}
h1 + .hcontent {
}
h2 + .hcontent {
margin-left: 15px;
}
h3 + .hcontent {
margin-left: 30px;
}
I had hoped to get away with a single "houtline" class (to replace all of the
headers) and a single "hcontent" class, but this was the best I could do. And
without any ability to set a variable or calculate a value, I couldn't see
another solution. It would have been nice to be able to declare something like
h1 h2 h3 {
margin-left: @current(margin-left) + 15px;
}
Again, thanks for the help! If anyone has a better solution, I'd love to hear
about it!
