HTML and a tab?

Question

I need to insert a simple tab, nothing else. I do not need a long HTML string. Is there something that exists where I can use it like a bold letter but what I really want is to insert 4 spaces. Nothing more, nothing less. It is for a column.

Answer 1

There is no tab in HTML. Try:

&+nbsp; &+nbsp;

(except remove the "+" character. I had to insert it or this page would have automatically turned it into a blank space.) This inserts blank spaces for you.

You cannot use two blank spaces because HTML automatically ignores those. You must alternate &+nbsp; and a blank space. (Again, remove the "+" symbol.)

If you are familiar with CSS (cascading style sheets) then you can also adjust the left margin for indenting.
