Is there HTML code to indent text at the start of a paragraph?

i.e. It's like using the "tab" in word to indent the text... Hitting "space" a few times doesn't work with html :o(

Try adding [& n b s p ;] without the spaces or brackets.

Try using & N B S P ;
(without the spaces between the letters! Yahoo deletes all HTML code)
This is one space. Use it as many times as you need to indent. For instance, to indent five spaces:
& N B S P ;& N B S P ;& N B S P ;& N B S P ;& N B S P ;

Enjoy!

You could use an inline style:-

Your text lives here

Just change the number infront of the em from 2 to reflect how much indentation you need. The em bit is how many letter "M" s the text is indented by.

once you say indented paragraphs, that refers back to the first line of each and every paragraph beind indented through a particular quantity. For all "p" tags, positioned this on your CSS: p { textual content-indent: 2em; } If that is for decrease than a million or 2 paragraphs:

First line of paragraph is indented 2em./p Ron

The paragraph tag is

, but you already knew that. You cna achieve what you what using CSS, which is preferred as the CSS should contianf the layout, the styling or whatever, and the HTMl the content.

yep, just view source of a page you want to emulate and you'll find the syntax.

try using:

indentedtext

Oh sorry, just re-read your question, you only want the first line indented, my solution indent the whole para - sorry.

Try using the non-breakable space...

All five characters are included.
