Show white space at the beginning of a text in HTML

How do I display white space at the beginning of text in HTML?

For example, I want to use

<p>             This is a paragraph.</p> //             This is a paragraph.

But it behaves exactly like 

<p>This is a paragraph.</p>

How I can do this?

Solution

  • You can use white-space: pre; property in CSS which doesn't collapse spaces:

        p {
    	white-space: pre;
    	color: black;
    	background: pink;
    }
        <p>             This is a paragraph.</p>
