Tabbing the source or the actual display output?

No, html collapse whitespace
You either need white-space: pre; text-indent, or padding
Depending on what you're doing

So I could just make <p class="tabSpaceHere">
Then define tabSpacehere with padding-right:20px; or something

That would be text-indent, I bet

It shows you what it does (not an example of how to do it)

Well, I want it to push the text to the right
Not new line
Err nevermind
So I'd have to do <p>Question</p><p>Options</p>
And I'd also have to add in some floats to make it show as one line, right? Or is there a better way around

Well, you'd probably "float" the question, and add margin-left to the "options". Also, I doubt highly that a paragraph element is the most appropriate element to describe this
Depending on how big the question was

Is there some tag that I could put inside a <p> that would allow me to add tab spaces
Cause I'm not going after any pattern, so I'd like to add the tab space where necessary, can't I define some <b> tag or smething to put inside

Well, you can always apply white-space: pre; to any element, you can also add horiz. padding to get a similar effect
I'm not really sure that you've thought this out particularly well
