How to Insert Spaces or Tabs in Text Using HTML and CSS |
How to Insert Spaces or Tabs in Text Using HTML and CSS
There are a multitude of ways to insert spaces using html. For simplicity sake we will go over one of these, which are by inserting a Span tag.
Span Tag
<span>
Span Tags <span>
are self closing tags meaning they do not need a />
.
Span Example
An example of how a <span>
tag inserts a space between text can be seen below.
<p>Hello may name is <span> James</p>
If you assign a class to your <span>
then you could add some css to it.
Like so,
<p>Hello my name is <span class=tab> James</p>
Then either in an external stylesheet or an internal-stylesheet you can give the class .tab
some properties.
Span Class Example
For example
.tab {padding-left: 2px;}
You can also give the <span>
some inline-style properties, as shown below.
<p>Hello my name is <span style="padding-left: 2px;"> James</p>
