Menu
I have a situation as follows
<body>
Test<br />
test<br />
test1<br />
</body>
I need to add a tab after the 2nd test and 3rd test
so that it looks similar to this.
Test
test
test1
Is there a special HTML entity or special character for TAB. eg. Non-breaking space == & nbsp ;
thanks

Spacing and indentation should be consistent throughout your code. Many developers choose to use 4-space or 2-space indentation. In HTML, each nested tag should be indented exactly once inside of its parent tag.
Indent the first line of a paragraph with text-indentPixels (px), em, rem, even percentage (%) units will work. Using a relative unit like percentage will change the amount of indentation based on the width of the webpage.
I am not a fan of using CSS to simulate a Tab Character.
For Indenting, yes, by all means use CSS - but not for Tab Characters.
For a single Tab, I would replace with " " (4 Spaces).
This is similar to what was used to format your Question for display.
The added benefit to this is (if someone copies your text)
it will preserve the spacing when pasted into Word or Notepad.
Example:
Test<br />
test<br />
test1Note: If your text is in a <pre> tag, then @Boldewyn's answer is the better option.
Keep in mind, the text in the <pre> tag may render differently than expected.
