I have used tab in "It is ... preformatted!" However, when I refreshed my page, it showed like this: It is... preformatted! It's only when I used space then it followed the format. Why is there a difference between these two?

Now I know why the tab and space make the web page look different. In notepad, the tab doesn't equal to 2 spaces as like what we set in the workspace at treehouse here. That's why just one tab, it will show what I need for the web page.

Hmmm. Seems fine to me. Maybe browser issue? I might be wrong.
