Not sure what forum this would belong in, but I would like to know if there is a tag that substitutes as a tab, instead of multiple  's.

In theory, the 	 entity will give you a tab character. In practice, it's not that useful as it just gets rendered as a single space on most browsers; and it gets collapsed down with other whitespace anyway.

You can copy and paste a tab character from Notepad, and if it's in DM tags it won't get collapsed:

zero tabs
    one tab
        two tabs


That's about the extent of it I'm afraid.

In response to Crispy
i usually have a little tab() function written in php or javascript for heavy tab/spacing usage, and apply it right where needed- though if the page is planned properly you probably don't need tabs in the first place. a well made style can create the same effect.
