Hi Heather,

The other thing about space characters that I didn't mention in that
previous post is that they get collapsed at the beginning of a line.
You generally don't want space characters to be output at the start of a
line, because if, for instance, you follow the convention of putting two
spaces between sentences, and a sentence happens to end at the end of a
line, you don't want that extra space to show up at the start of the
next line.

However, the non-breaking space character is always output.  So, you can
do something like this:

  return name + "<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;" + domain;

However, it's hard to get an exact amount of horizontal space with space
characters.  If you want to control the exact amount of space, it's
better to use something like a first-line indent, like so:

  return name + "<p findent=2400>" + domain;

Where the indent value is in hundredths of points (7200 per inch).

Or you could simply use tabs:

  return name + "<br><t>" + domain;

The default tab stop will be at one-half inch.  You can modify this in
the Tab Stop Editor for the frame, or use markup to set the tab position
(although adjusting the first-line indent is simpler).

The Tags Reference Guide is your friend!
