Adding tab space using a pre tag Syntax:

<pre> Contents... </pre>

Adding tab space using a pre tag Example:

Here is the implementation of above explained approach.

Output:

Explanation:

• In the above example we are using uses the <pre> tag to encapsulate text, preserving its original formatting.
• Spaces and tabs within the <pre> tag are displayed as entered, without collapsing or converting them into single spaces.
• Consecutive spaces and tabs are maintained, ensuring proper alignment and layout of the text.
• The <pre> tag is commonly used for displaying code snippets, preserving their original indentation and whitespace.

Tab space instead of multiple non-breaking spaces refers to using the tab key for indentation or spacing within text, rather than inserting multiple non-breaking space entities (nbsp) to achieve the same visual effect, which can be cumbersome and less efficient.

We can the <pre> tag or CSS properties like inline block, padding, and margin to display text with consistent spacing instead of relying on multiple non-breaking spaces (nbsp) for indentation.
