What most people do to simulate tabs is use DD & DT tags. They are intended creating a glossary:

(X)HTML has no special support for tabs: they're just another whitespace character, regardless of whether you escape them or not.

Try 	. The TAB is ASCII character #9.

But it may not show up as you'd expect, anyway, since HTML ignores whitespace in most instances.
