text-indent
The text-indent property specifies the amount of indentation (empty space) should be left before lines of text in a block. By default, this controls the indentation of only the first formatted line of the block, but the hanging and each-line keywords can be used to change this behavior.
Syntax
text-indent: length|initial|inherit;
Values
length

percentage (%)
Defines the indentation in % of the width of the parent element.
initial
Sets this property to its default value.
inherit
Inherits this property from its parent element.
Example

text-indent: 3mm;
