 * I’ve got a literary journal so I need some pages indented and others not. On 
   the style sheet I can obviously have text-indent or not. How can I tailor indentation
   function to specific pages?

 * Hi,
 * Add this style to your page which will add the indent to the each paragraph of
   the pages..you can change the style and also apply it to the pages..
 * <p style=”text-indent: 2em;”>.</p>
 * Thanks,

 * It is best to create separate template for those pages which will use indentation
   and another teamplate for those who don’t use.
 * On a template you write:
    `<body class="indentation">` and on the other one: `
   <body class="no-indentation">`
 * in css you will have:
 * `body.indentation p {text-indent: 10px}`
 * `body.no-indentation p {text-indent: 0}`
 * So the paragraph will take those specific attributes.
 * If you don’t know how to create custom templates, you can find that information
   here in [codex](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages).
 * I think there is another solution to create an if statement, depending on pages,
   to assign class to body. Css will remain the same.
 * But solution I gave you is easier.
