Tech Note: How to format a table in an online forum as shown above.
----------- Switch to the fixed-width Courier font in the advanced editor so you can measure your spacing.
- Then use the PHP tags around the table as you create it. Find the PHP button on the advanced editor or use (PHP) (/PHP), with square brackets [] rather than parentheses.
- Use the spacebar rather than tabs for spacing.
- A single apostrophe ' within a word will disappear when the table displays, and will throw off your column alignment. Use a grave accent instead; it's the ` character, Ascii 96 or hex 60. As in "America`s Talk" above. Using just one grave accent changes the table's color scheme; you'll notice I slipped another into the line to restore it.
- A pair of apostrophes sets up a quoted literal, which is displayed in red and can cross rows. Very handy to highlight changes.
