I would say no. As part of the not recognizing white space, HTML has nothing to work as a tab character. In the days before, there was a tag for tabs, but never really picked up. Can you explain in detail what you want to do?

I wanted to make columns without setting up a table I guess. But its probably simpler just to set up a table correct?

Thanks for your help.

If you're lining up columns because you want to represent tabular data, then a table would be the semantically correct code.

You can always use CSS to style the table's appearance.

It is possible to line up columns using spaces: the <pre> tag defines preformatted text and won't collapse multiple spaces (I've never tried using a tab character in HTML, so I can't say how that would work).

I think I will just use a table. Thanks for your help!
