How to Indent Text on Both Sides

To indent text one tab-width (or one column) from both sides of the page, use the <BLOCKQUOTE> </BLOCKQUOTE> tags. As the name of the tag suggests, this is recommended when using large block quotes of text on a webpage.

Example:

<blockquote>Here is some indented text.</blockquote>
Now here is regular text.

This renders:

<html><blockquote>Here is some indented text.</blockquote>Now here is regular text.</html>
