Word for "tab" in Spanish

I'm translating a technical document and am unable to find what word is used for "tab," as in the indentation key, in Spanish. Could someone help me with this?

In a sentence:

I put a /tab/ at the start of my paragraphs to show that they are indented.

La tacla "tab" o "tabulador" se utiliza para poner una sangría al principio de un párrafo. Y sí, un párrafo con sangría, es un párrafo sangrado, aunque no suene demasiado bien.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

I thought maybe the word "indent" would work but I got a weird word for the translation.

It says "sangrar" = empezar una línea más adentro que las otra

However, I can't imagine that that's correct. Let's wait for someone with more experience to come along.
