HTML Para Alignment

I would like to align my text below. I need the formatting using HTML only (not CSS becuase the html code is inside a perl file, ok with in-line CSS).Can I do it by using the lines as table rows/columns and specifying the width of table to an y specific value which aligns the text?

Solution

  • Without any CSS at all, the only way you can position text is by using a <pre> tag:

    <pre>

</pre>

    If CSS is allowed, just set a width and margin on the paragraph:

    <p style="width:400px;margin:0 100px">...
