HTML Essential Training

Formatting page content

In this series of exercises, we'll explore how to use HTML elements to format basic page content.

Controlling white space

By default, browsers will ignore any white space after the first space. To add additional white space, you must use the   entity.

Try it here.     Add as much white space as you want here.

Keep in mind that the primary purpose of the non-breaking space is to inform browsers when a line break shouldn't occur during a string of text. For example, adding a non-breaking space between Formula One would ensure that a line break never occurs that would split up the words Formula and One. To that end, never use the non-breaking space character to control paragraph indentations or fake a tab character. CSS should control that type of visual formatting.
