Best Technique to Pad Text within a div?

What is the best technique to use to pad text within a div?

Thanks

Hi there,

Erm, by using padding?

e.g.

<div class="padMe">
  <p>Some text</p>
</div>
.padMe{padding:15px;}

Or did I misunderstand something?

Edit: If so, maybe you could describe what you are trying to do in a bit more detail, or even better, provide a code sample.
