zippy2010 -> Space b/w words (7/19/2012 13:52:39)

how to add more space b/w words. Even if I give 100 spaces in between 2 words it still shows one space in actual post.
In previous statement I actually wrote it this way but still you can see how it's presented.

So how to do that?

Hmm...
You see, coding is an entirely different thing. The code format puts forward a line/sentence/paragraph in its most bare bones way showing to the viewers EXACTLY that which you have written.

However, when you write something normally, the Posting facility will automatically optimise it to make sense. Even a 1000 spaces will be shown as one.

I can't imagine why you would need to put a 100 spaces between words when there's full stops to be used.

In any case, there it was.

If you have seen when staff post numbers of new equipment in info submission, there you can see that there are sufficient gaps in b/w numbers. And it dosen't look like it uses "code" command.



Technomancer -> RE: Space b/w words (7/19/2012 14:17:44)

They actually do use the code command, I believe. If this is what you mean: 

Level	11	40	62	80	95	110	125	140
Type	Z	Z	Z	Z	Z	Z	Z	Z
PLvl	45	60	75	90	105	120	135	150

If you really want spaces between things without having to resort to code, you can make some creative use of the forum background color (the same you'd use to hide the 'edited by ...' message). Color=#eeeee, with closing tags this time.

Example:

Words...................More words.

Coded: 

Words[color=#eeeeeee]...................[/color]More words.

Yes I thought about the color tags but I wanted to know if there is any other way. Thanks both of you.

You just can use the spaces and words between the code command:
The code command can be found at the top right side of your post which is clickable.
For example:
[code]words space space etc words[/code] 
Result: 
words            words



Scakk -> RE: Space b/w words (7/19/2012 14:55:44)

An alternate solution is using "& n b s p ;" , without spaces, to represent 1 space. If you want to have 5 spaces you use it 5 times side by side.



zippy2010 -> RE: Space b/w words (7/19/2012 15:04:30)

Oh yes the non-breakable space. I completely forgot about that. Thanks Scakk

As an added note most of the numbers we post are generated in excel. When we copy them to the forum and add code tags the spaces automatically appear.
