How do you post things in columns? I have tried tabs and spaces and the forum ignores them.
You do not want to know!
"It" changes stuff between preview and submit!

It would be nice if that could be fixed. Seems to me something is broken. Not a big deal since I have only wanted to post columns a few times but still...

An all too common 'feature' lately. Repeat spaces are reduced to one space. Remember double spacing between sentences?
Also it appears 'proportional spacing' is also common(a pita with columns).
Another pita is when 'backspace' wipes out an entire entry.
Problem with tabs is a common definition where the 'stops' are is required. Remember they were settable anywhere.
Seems some 'millennials' do not understand typewriter functions.
Shift(case) is another one! The current 'understanding' is however a more logical implementation. (think lock)
Oh and why did the ignition 'key' get replaced? Or the manual ignition switch for that matter? Yes I diverge(wander astray).

My parents had a few cars and trucks that had push button starters. I remember a couple that you didn't need a key to start, either.
Remember the dimmer switch on the floor? Or a starter button under the accelerator pedal?
We Never had one so fancy, but a neighbour had a big ol' '57 Chrysler that had floor button to change the radio stations.

Guys, web sites (including forums) are "driven" by HTML. HTML is a language (Hyper Text Markup Language) that lets web site programmers design the look and feel of websites. HTML in conjunction with browsers (IE, Opera, Firefox, etc) define the page on the fly. If you have a 1024 x 800 screen the page has to be rearranged different than a 1280 x 1024 screen. Therefore the columns can't align up at the different resolutions because spacing/fonts are interpreted differently. It has to be that way, no way around it ....

Also, to add to what Dick mentioned, in HTML, any spaces more than the first space in a row are usually ignored, unless you use a specific non-breaking space character ( ) which doesn't work in this particular forum editor as configured.
Also, if you want a font where every letter is of an even width, then choose a mono-spaced font. Try using the "font" above and set it = to "monospace" which will select a monospaced font available on the user's computer (there are a few, and they vary slightly from Mac to Windows, etc.--selecting a font "family" or "type" like monospace allows it to adapt to the viewers device a bit more instead of not finding the specific font name and just going back to default).
Here is a monospaced font. Every letter should be of an even width. Very handy for lining things up.

In the old days when I did web pages we "got around it" by using tables. I'm guessing that is still done today as some pages have columns that line up well no matter. Can it be done here? Don't know and don't feel like trying.
So I think I've added to our drift away from the intent of this thread.
I will be out at the local woodcraft sometime in the next two weeks to take advantages of some sales and I'd like to see what that store knows or is willing to share on the subject. Not the one we just have been talking about but the shopsmith at woodcraft one.

Oh the price we pay for improvements and flexibility!!!
Now explain the reason for eliminating repeat spaces.

A table is the solution, but the forum SW has to be able to let you write the code and insert it into the post. The code would look like:
Code: Select all
<table style="width:100%">
<tr>
<td>Jill</td>
<td>Smith</td>
<td>50</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Eve</td>
<td>Jackson</td>
<td>94</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>John</td>
<td>Doe</td>
<td>80</td>
</tr>
</table>
OK, I am done ....
