Posting data in tables and spacing

[jAZ]

Ya know how whenever you copy/paste a table of data into one of your posts, it always ends up scrunched together....

Name #
Test 1
Test 2
Test 3
Test 4


(there were originally 16 spaces between "Name" and "#", but they were removed down to 1 space...)

If you post the same table inside the [ code ] & [ /code ] tag, it will retain the spacing properly.

Name #
Test 1
Test 2
Test 3
Test 4

I see you've discovered the "QUOTE" button!

Enjoy your stay in the world of tomorrow!

Wow and to think I quit posting tables because I could barely interpret them when posted. :thumb:

[Rain Man]

I don't think that jAZ is posting this just to give us a tip. I think he's sending some kind of code. What is he trying to tell us?

[go bowe]

I don't think that jAZ is posting this just to give us a tip. I think he's sending some kind of code. What is he trying to tell us?he probably can't just say what he means...

after all, he's not in the d.c. forum... :p

I think this is a secret message to release an attack on civilization itself.

Awesome work man. Don't pay attention to the naysayers. Some of us appreciate the work you do! :D

Of course, when people realize Lazarus and I can now do this:

Team Offense
|---------- PASSING -----------||----- RUSHING -----| TOTAL
CMP ATT YD YPA TD INT ATT YD YPA TD YD
339 536 4113 7.67 24 12 446 1929 4.33 32 6042
NFL rank ---> 5 7 4 3 10 5 17 15 11 1 2

Team Defense
|---------- PASSING -----------||----- RUSHING -----| TOTAL
CMP ATT YD YPA TD INT ATT YD YPA TD YD
333 565 3614 6.40 19 25 453 2344 5.17 18 5958
NFL rank ---> 30 29 24 12 14 3 18 30 32 27 29



they probably won't appreciate you as much. :D

[morphius]

Good work Jaz!

[Iowanian]

I'd be absolutely excited if I knew what "[ code ] & [ /code ] tag" even meant.

For some reason someof the lines are shifted over to the left.

[jAZ]

For some reason every other line is shifted over.
It's because of the length of the name of the team in the far left column...

I promise this is the last test

All it took to fix was putting the curser behind the short names and hitting the space bar, then the line jumps into place.
