Indentation

When writing your HTML code, do you use the tab or space bar for indentation? I'm not sure which is the right or wrong choice. I haven't been able to get a clear answer on the subject.

I use a text editor like Brackets, Notepad++, or even Notepad, believe it or not. I use them because it takes the guess work out of where to indent, it a great feature to have. When I first started off in web designing I used notepad, I was on a lower budget and needed any editor; The low feature Notepad did the job.

Well anyway, it's important to make sure that when you are writing your HTML codes, they are readable, not only to you, but, to others that may want to read your sources codes. You will learn more about source codes in another tutorial.
