I'm not really sure whether this belongs to the Code-It section or this one, so I'm just going with this one as it's more general.

I noticed that you can't do extra spaces at the beginning of a line using the standard way. Is there any way to make it look like an indented paragraph? Without putting any extra characters at the start of it?

There's an ASP function that does it. I think.

But ASP != HTML, so that's no use.

You can do it with CSS. Example:

<p style="text-indent: 64">
Here is some text that will be indented. As you can see, it uses CSS to do this. If you're running a browser that doesn't support all these outlandish CSS gizmos, or it's a stupid thing that Microsoft added for Internet Explorer only, then you will just think I'm talking a load of nonsense. (I am anyway, but that's not the point. END PARAGRAPH!)

Or press alt+0160 to get a non breaking space, and copy and paste it:
 one
two
three

That means no non-breaking characters. Alt+0160 works (it doesn't like to be copied/pasted though) but &nbsp; is the HTML equivalent. Use that. Now.

<DD>A DD tag works with regular HTML... if it indented this line, it works here too.

Guess not...

Yep. It's HTML. Typing &nbsp; works. Thanks.
