table formatting

[rukus]

sorry, not sure what section this goes in, but does anyone on these boards know how to easily format tables in a message/post so i can cleanly post a set of numbers? is it not easy at all?

could not find any help by searching, probably because the word "table" seems to ahve some type of application to blackjack, as does the word "format" to blackjack tournaments...

thanks in advance,
rukus

I usually use the little number-sign thingy (telephone pound sign?) in the message toolbar. You can type anything you want between the two Code tags and it will include empty spaces and other formatting. Check it out:

I       can   write        with
all     the   spaces      I
want    and   the         lines
still   match             up.

There are probably other ways to do it too, but that's what I do.

You might want to preview your message before hand. It can be a little tricky at first.
