    How can I make an indent appear at the beginning of my paragraphs?

      HTML is only for saying "this is a paragraph", not "paragraphs should have an indent at the beginning". For that, you want CSS. For indentation specifically, see this comment on this same post. For more CSS information, see this tutorial.

        Oh, so that's why what I tried didn't work...
        For the daughter of a computer programmer, I know very little about code.
        Thank you :)

      Hi, Melony!

      Daniel already linked you to the proper method, in that it creates a solution that is relative to the font size and generally friendly to all accessibility tools. Another option is to force the spacing using non-breaking spaces by entering at the beginning of each paragraph:

          

      You can repeat it more or fewer times, depending on the width of the tab you want. We do encourage, however, the CSS solution. If you have any questions, you can always submit a Support ticket!

      Best,

      edit: because English sentences need verbs.
