Indent or tab in HTML

<H3>Hello Folks,</h3>
<p>
Export this message to disk and read it in your Web-browser.

<TABLE border=0>
<TH colspan=2 align=left>How to make an Indent or Tab with 
<TT>&lt;TABLE&gt;</TT></TH> <TR>
<TD>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;

<TD>Another way to make an indent is using a table. I wrote this message 
in HTML for your convenience. Just export it as a .html file to disk, cut 
off mail header and my signature and have a look using your browser's 'Open 
file' option. 
<p>
BTW no 1, the <TT>&amp;#160;</TT> is the same as <TT>&amp;nbsp;</TT><br>
As you can see this is a nice way of indenting without using <TT>&lt;BR&gt; 
&lt;DD&gt;</TT>-tags in every line of tekst.
<p>
BTW no 2, If you use an HTML-checker or validator that works with 
DTD-lines in your HTML-files, it will return a message for non correct 
HTML-usage
when using the <TT>&lt;DD&gt;</TT>-tag out off the definition list context.
<p>
regards,<br>
Henk
