Now, I'm not an expert on formatting things to look pretty, but there are a few instances of things that work differently on these boards relative to those
other boards. I'll post things as I see them, and invite any others who want to give pointers/advice to post as well, please.
The use of the "code" tag for lists and simple tables can be replaced with the "preformatted text" tags. This does a very nice job of preserving tabs and spaces in a fixed width font, without any automatic scrollbars for longer lists/tables. The
button above applies it to the selected text.
Also, the
button above gives the horizontal rule:
I realize that I'm not the first on the boards to use it, in fact I
just noticed it, but it could come in handy to a lot of posters, and it's even easier than a line of dashes or underscores.
Hope it helps.
While I'm at it,
here's a link to dman11235's thread on class formatting. Lotsa good formats there.
