    I want to replace a tab in front of some sentences numbered with a), b). I tried this. Find what: ^([a-z]+[)]) (to select all text start with a),b) at the start of the line. Replace with : \t\1 (to put tab in front of them. But it’s a problem. Tab didn’t appear when I open html text in browser. I’m using NotePad++ to modify.
    In NotePad++ (TAB) a)hello
    In browser a)hello
    This is after when I apply the commands. Thanks

      I think forget the browser part of the question as that is off-topic for a Notepad++ forum.

      Did you get the tab character appearing for sure in Notepad++ after your replace operation?

      Best way to tell for sure might be turning on visible whitespace by:
      View menu > Show Symbol > Show White Space and TAB

      and then tab characters will appear like this (orange arrows):

      But again, this may just be helping you in Notepad++.
      You will have to go elsewhere to find the answer to your browser question.
