Margins and Padding

• Margins are the attributes for the space outside of the element.
• For example the space around the outside of a "box" or border.
• Padding is the attribute for the space inside the box.
• For example the space between the text and the box/border.
• Indent is the attribute used when you want a specific percentage of indentation from the left.
• Acts much like a left indent of a paragraph for a word processed document.
• An example is the "code" class I created.
