When to use it

A fixed space as wide as the font size. Useful for small fixed gaps and indents in plain text; in a page layout, CSS margin is better.

The name dates from HTML 4, so it works in every browser and in old email clients.

It has no visible shape of its own, which is why the box above shows it with a tinted background.
