Creating a margin, next to the thumbnails

I’m using a php script for a video web site.
After a search, a thumbnail appears with a description next to it. I’ve added      to move the description to the right of the thumbnail image, but it only moves the first line of text, the next line, in the description, is flush up against the thumbnail image again. I’m looking for a solution where all of the description lines have a margin a space between themselves and the thumbnail image.

I believe this line of code is where the description is generated/displayed from:


[blk1.vid_desc;htmlconv=no;block=div;ope=max:268;comm]

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Here’s the whole file:

You can use hspace and vspace although these are depreciated ?
