With CSS? No. And while you could do it server side or via javascript,
you'd still run into the issue you mention where you could get the odd
indent.
FYI, you shouldn't be doing this anyway. Most agree that it's not proper
typography (though there's a few hold-outs...namely High School English
teachers...)
