Place spacing effect at beginning of paragraph

Navigation
6

Scenario : I have a Terms of Service page and responsibilities. For being very verbose, there are about 15 paragraphs. To generate the initial spacing of each paragraph I am using a set of: 5   however I want to remove these   .

Question : How do I give this paragraph start effect without using this   ?

Reduced page HTML : 

<p>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS
</p>
<p>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS
</p>
<p>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS
</p>

You can use the text-indent property: 

p {
    text-indent: 50px;
}

As I did to solve this question: I used the pseudo :first-letter element as follows:

CSS : 

p:first-letter {
    margin-left: 3em;
}

HTML : 

<p>
TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS
</p>
<p>
TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS TOS
</p>
<p>

</p>
