    How do you indent text?

    If you would like to indent your text, to create some space away from the left margin, you can use a couple of methods:

    The first employs non-breaking spaces which are coded like this:  

         Creates a nice indent

    Produces this result:

         Creates a nice indent


    This method can be a bit laborious; you need the same number of non-breaking spaces at the front of each new line and they have a habit of disappearing each time you (re)edit.

    An alternate method is to use the un-numbered list facility, like this:

    <ul>Create as many
    lines as you
    like down the page
    aligning the lines as you feel fit
    (this might be good for
    poetry!)
    and then, after the last line
    put one of these things
    </ul>


    and you get this result:

      Create as many
      lines as you
      like down the page
      aligning the lines as you feel fit
      (this might be good for
      poetry!)
      and then, after the last line
      close the UL tag
