The HTML inline-styling property, known as the text-indent property, indents each paragraph of text just as you would indent the first line of a paragraph when writing a paper.
The code editor shows how to create text-indent in pixels (px):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<title>Text Indent HTML</title>
</head>

</body>This example shows you an absolute length unit called pixels (px). You can also express the indent in relative/responsive length units like em, rem, and then % of the overall element’s/paragraph’s width.
This property is the same as the CSS property of the same name. The only difference between this and the CSS version is where the selector rule is located. The CSS text-indent property is located with the other CSS rules in the style tag in the HTML head or CSS external stylesheet. The HTML equivalent is written as an inline style in your actual markup.
