Now I'm trying to get the outline to wrap just the text of
the para.
I don't want to set a fixed width (say 'width: 400px;')
because the
actual text can vary in width. The best way I've found so
far is to
insert a <span> round the text, and put the outline
on that.
Is there a better way ?
The <span> option is OK, although you probably won't like how it
displays when the text wraps onto two lines. An alternative would be
to float the paragraph (and then clear the next element) which will
'auto shrink' its width. But, then, the outline will be full-width
if the text covers - at least - one line and one letter. I think
you're probably after something like:
-------------------------
| Lorem ipsum dolor sit |
| amet ------------------
|------|
(with apologies to those reading in a non-monospace font)
As far as I'm aware, that's not possible in CSS.

Ahhh, I see better as to what the OP was talking about.
Sorry for my ignorant post.
Cheers,
