Tabs in html

[Jordan Zommick]

First off, I'm trying to use styles in my html pages. I've got an ascii file
that is marked up with codes that I need to convert to html. There are tabs
identified as codes inside the file. I've also got settings for the tabs.
For example, set a tab at 1in and 3.5in. How can I preserve these tab
settings inside html???

Not sure for all browsers, but if you surround your code with <pre></pre> it
will work in some.

There are no tabs in HTML or CSS. The closest you can come is by building a
table and populating the columns with the necessary data. The other
alternative is to have the page arranged within <PRE></PRE> tags, which is
visually limiting, but does allow you to line things up with spaces.

I use an old dos text editor which leaves tabs in the file, and the web pages I

upload still have tab characters within <pre> </pre> sections. Everyone
I have asked to look at my pages that the columns are lined up, which
means that the browsers apparently know how to handle tabs inside
preformatted text.
