Dearborn Moderator United States 96214 Posts	Posted 01/06/2023 9:47 pm I have been trying to figure out how to create columns here. Straight vertical columns Like a list where the first column is left justified in a post and no matter each sequential item is long, the second Column will still be straight vertically. I was told by someone here how to do it with it torn apart so I can see the syntax, but I cannot put it to work properly. Here is what I was told: Before the two columns, I use the html tag "code" (encased in square bracklets). Then, the space in between the two columns is set by using one- or two-tabs characters "amparsand amparsand pound nine" (the sequence of characters, no spaces). Finally, the list is ended with the html tag "/code" (encased in square bracklets). If someone can help me out, I would appreciate it. Perhaps someone could make a short list here, and have it present as it is intended on a post, but then just send me what you actually typed to create it in an email So I can compare the way to do it.

jbuck Moderator United States 188560 Posts	Posted 01/07/2023 9:17 pm You cannot use tabs. You have to use hard spaces. If you type it up in Notepad++ first, you can use convert the tabs to spaces: Edit > Blank Operations > TAB to Space This is how I do everything for Guess The Price.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96214 Posts	Posted 01/10/2023 7:18 pm Nss: did you go into my post and examine how I did it? There are some hidden characters in between that make this work. (& & # 9 - 'no spaces') these pretend to be tabs and thus setting up straight columns Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

jbuck Moderator United States 188560 Posts	Posted 01/11/2023 08:26 am I still feel it is better to use hard spaces. Tab distance can vary and sometimes you end up with a line that gets out of sync when one of the filed contents is abnormally long or short.
