Indenting all lines inside textarea

Question

Is it possible to text indent each line in a textarea? I'm using a handwritten font and the first letter on each line is getting cut off slightly. I've already used padding and margin, but this does not work.

Many thanks.

Answer 1

Have you tried using \t? More details would be good are you programming this or are you typing it? You can also try alt codes if its the latter - Alt-012 is tab.

Edit I see your probably talking about the HTML input textarea. You might tag your question for HTML, though looking at it again it's fairly straight forward from the context.

Answer 2

Don't know about \t but

style="padding-left: 4px;"

would definitely work for all the rows of a text-area.

Answer 3

in Chrome 69.0.3497.92, This gives indent only for the first line in textarea:

text-indent: 2em;
