designing tutorial to
use them correctly to make your page look more
professional.
An HTML indent code enables
you to indent text on your web page easily. You can
do so for the paragraphs (similar to tabbing over
with the tab key when typing) or indent text for
emphasis or sectioning of your paragraphs. If you
try to do so using the traditional tab key method,
then you might find that your web page program
automatically "fixes" the text for you, thus,
removing the indention!

How to Write Indent
Code
To create a reliable
indention, you'll want to use an HTML indent code.
Designers have used various methods to create
indented text on a web page, including non-breaking
spacing, blockquotes, unorthodox list structures,
images, cascading style sheets, preformatted text,
tables, etc. Each method has pros and cons because
no two browsers or web pages are exactly
alike!
In this video, the "text
indent" property is being used to create this
feature. The value assigned can be in px, in, mm,
cm, pt, pc, or ex measurements. The video uses
"px," which stands for pixels.
The indent is created by
clicking into the text property tag area in your
page's HTML code. Type "text-indent:". Then assign
a value to the text you'd like to indent, such as
300px (space after the colon and then type the
"300pix" before the ending bracket). The 300 can be
changed to any number to assign the number of pixel
spaces you'd like to move the text in the
indention.
This is a very simple way to
indent your text without having to create
non-related features on the page, such as indented
images or blockquotes. This "HTML indent" video and
others can teach you how to easily design
your web page to look
the way you want it. You may also benefit by

design training course for
beginners if you'd
