Question

I would like to change the default behavior of the indent button. By default the indent button adds a css style padding-left: 30px; to the paragraph tag. I would like to change that to margin-left: 20px or whatever number amount.

Answer 1

I’m not sure it is possible without hacking into tinyMCE code. One option might be using custom style as shown here: http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/Configuration:style_formats

tinyMCE.init({
    ...
    style_formats : [
        {title : 'Indented text', inline : 'p', styles : {marginLeft : '20px'}}
    ]
});

And then apply the style instead of pressing indent button.
