A Formatting Question...

Is there any way to right-justify text in vBulletin?

Thanks,
Chris

Nope.

Caeca,

Is there any easy way to do justified columns, sort of like an HTML table?

It would have been useful to me a couple of weeks ago when I posted two sets of nominal case measurements.

I tried using tabs between the numbers, but that didn't work too well, so I ended up using spaces, which didn't work too well either.

The information was readable, just not as neat or readible as I had hoped.

Mike,
Have you tried the (code) ... (/code) format? (Using square brackets instead of parens, of course.)

This is what happens when using 'code':

Code:

This     line     has     5     spaces     between     words.

This is what happens otherwise:

This line has 5 spaces between words.

HTML code is disabled in posts. Aside from the CODE that Mal mentioned there is no other way to preserve formatting.

No, I didn't try (code). It didn't dawn on me that it would work in this situation. Thanks!

Great trick, Mal.
Thanks-
