How to Indent Text

There are several ways of handling indentation of text. With this method, you can indent some text from the left-hand side by a tab-width.

To indent text, use the <DL> </DL> tags to signify what is called a definition list. Inside this definition list, use the <DD> tag indents text by a column.

Just insert this code as a new webpage to see an example of this indentation.
