How to indent a normal or a <PRE>....</PRE> text in HTML?

05-02-2004

Assume I want to publish a longer article on a web page.
One of the paragraphs I want to display with an indent.
Read: All text lines of this paragraph should be displayed with (let's say

blanks
from the "normal" left side.

How do I do that without coding "       &nb sp;" ?

Is there something like
<TAB size=8> ..... </TAB> ?

Folks,

-tag is one of the possibilities. You can also use
the <blockquote>-tag.
See code:
----------------------

<html>
<head></head>

<body>
normal

<blockquote>
this whole text is indented. 
the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. 
thiss sentencee contains three errors. 
<blockquote>
you can even nest the blockquote tag. 

</blockquote>
so you have multiple paragraphs.
</blockquote>
</body>
</html>

----------------------

Make your choice. or <blockquote>

If it's a paragraph, use . If it is a block quote, use <blockquote>.
If it is a paragraph that you want indented, use with appropriate
CSS, as per Toby's post.

BTW: Please don't post upside-down.

Blockquote is good, but only appropriate if the text you're marking up is
a genuine quotation from some external source.

The rendering of BLOCKQUOTE is not even guaranteed to be indentation, and I
don't know how you figure P will usually render indented (unless I am
missing something, it won't).

Again, it's fine to use BLOCKQUOTE for a block quotation, but it's not an
"indent command".
