Could be suppressed in CSS?

Question

I am writing a style sheet for processing RSS / Atom feeds on Dreamwidth.org (a blog site based on LiveJournal).

One of the channels that I have insists on prefixing paragraphs with "& nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; Text ..." to create an indented paragraph effect. I prefer that my paragraphs align at the same level with the left side of the page. I have no way to rewrite the content or write Javascript to handle this, and the prevalence of arbitrary habits on bloggers seems a bit untenable ...

My understanding of CSS is that HTML entities and characters themselves cannot be used as selectors.

Update: The site I'm working on is here: http://dredmorbius.dreamwidth.org/read/

The particular feed in question is James Howard Kunstler, a piquantly named blog, and this entry , in particular, contains paragraph paragraphs without a break.

Answer 1

Your understanding is correct. HTML objects are regular characters that are simply expressed in different HTML syntax, so with regard to CSS, they are the same and cannot be targeted by a selector.
