it does. look at the source code :) you may mean ` ` , which is a non breaking space. `print "&nbsp"x7,"whatever";` [download] also note the use of the 'x' operator.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

It will (try it from a command line), but those spaces won't show up in a browser. Multiple whitespace is condensed to one space in HTML. If you really need spaces to show up like that in a browser, use non-breaking spaces.	[reply]

If you are trying to tab(offset at the front of a line) you can use `<ul><li></li><li></li></ul>` for that.I hope that helps learning too	[reply] [d/l]
