There are two ways to tab text in HTML. One uses HTML entities and the other uses CSS2.
& nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp;
, without the space between '&' and 'n', will create an indent of three spaces. You can also use the CSS2 property "text-indent".

Similar to the others... more info on the  & nbsp; Â
I ususally use  & nbsp;  because it is easy.
This is a very simple way to do it. The only downside is: it only moves everything over one space. You can get around this by copying and pasting it over and over again.
I also like to use the horizontal tab ( & #09 ) I use that when I want 2 or more indents.
If I just want an indent at the top of a paragraph, i use the
tag.
***Please note that there are not spaces between the ampersand ( & ) and the number of code after it. The only way to show it is by putting it a space in. Yahoo interprets it as literal HTML code.

To display things in tabular format, use an HTML table tag.
To simply add a space, use the non breaking space (written as ' ').

You can put tab characters in your HTML directly if you use what’s called “preformatted” text.In HTML, surround text that you want “preformatted” in a pair of “
” and “” start and end tags. Any spacing characters you put between those tags (including tab characters) will show up just as you entered them.
