How to Make Indents in HTML
The HTML "definition list" set lets you list several indented items. The indents do not have a numbered list like the "unordered list" tags. Use the "DL," "DD" and "DT" tags to indent in HTML. Using spaces to indent content does not line up the text, so it is not the preferred method for indenting content.
