The space button, you use the space button to add spaces.

Hi, thanks for your answer but when i select the paragraph and push the space button it erase, so i cant indent with space button

Hi Dan, when i select the paragraph and push enter it erase

You want to use the Tab button on your keyboard

8

its the same when i use the tab button its erase the paragraph that i selected

9

In that case, don’t select the whole thing – just put your cursor in front of the element you want to indent and press the tab button

Indent start (a line of text) or position (a block of text) further from the margin than the main part of the text.

I am not indented
 I am indented

Just literally type a space.

If you are typing a space and the line disappears, then that would possibly be a bug

Just so you know, indentation is not needed to solve the challenge, but to indent just put your cursor at the beginning of the line and press tab

Why do you have a pressing need to indent? It has literally nothing to do with the challenge.

You can press tab at the start of a line, same as any other program where you enter text. The editor should allow you to select all the text (like you would do in any text editor or word processor program) then press tab to indent. If that functionality isn’t working for some reason, you can press the space key to add spaces, like every other computer program where you input text.
