The padding-left property

The padding-left property sets a left padding of an element. The property value is any size units.

Syntax

selector {
	padding-left: value;
}

Let's make the 30px left padding:

<div id="elem">
	some text...
</div>

#elem {
	padding-left: 30px;
	width: 300px;
	border: 1px solid black;
	text-align: justify;
}
