How to insert spaces/tabs in text using HTML/CSS

Question

Possible ways:

or

style=\"white-space:pre\"

Anything else?

Answer 1

White space? Couldn't you just use padding? That is an idea. That is how you can add some "blank area" around your element. So you can use the following CSS tags:

padding: 5px;
padding-top: 5px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-right: 5px;
