If you re asking for tabs to align stuff in some lines  you can use  lt table gt    Putting each line in  lt tr gt       lt  tr gt   And each element inside that line in  lt td gt       lt  td gt   And of course you can always control the padding of each table cell to adjust the space between them   This will make them aligned and they will look pretty nice

Try  amp emsp    As per the documentation at Special Characters      The character entities  amp ensp  and  amp emsp  denote an en space and an em   space respectively  where an en space is half the point size and an em   space is equal to the point size of the current font  For fixed pitch   fonts  the user agent can treat the en space as being equivalent to A   space character  and the em space as being equivalent to two space   characters
