Formatting text in posts (help please!)

[Dave G]

I'm wanting to post some new arrow designs I've been toying around with, but I don't know how to keep my formatting so that the stat table makes sense, here's an example of what I mean:

Arrow Damage Critical Range Inc. Type
Shortbow 1d6 x3 60 P
Screamer 1d4+1 x2 60 P

etc...

Can anyone help me out? I need a total of 5 columns and 5 rows...

Thanks!

Arrow       Damage   Critical Range   Inc.   Type
Shortbow    1d6              x3             60       P
Screamer    1d4+1           x2             60       P

Did that with HTML using & nbsp; (without a space between the & and nbsp to make a blank space.

<p>Arrow       Damage   Critical Range   Inc.   Type
Shortbow    1d6              x3           60       P
Screamer*  1d4+1           x2           60       P
Flight         1d4              x2           90       P
Slasher       1d6+1          x2           30       S
Basher**    1d6+1          x2           30       B</p>

Well that's close enough for me, trial and error worked! Thanks!

Hiya BBb!

You could also make it into a bitmap and attach it to a post. *shrug*

Another option is to use the {code} {/code} tags. Just be sure to enclose them inside {color=white}{/color} to make them show up against the background.

{color=white}{code}
       Column1   Column2   Column3
Row1   1,1       1,2       1,3
Row2   2,1       2,2       2,3
Row3   3,1       3,2       3,3
{/code}{/color}

Or make use of the {table} tags in html: {table}{tr}{td}, and their respective {/xxxx}
<table>
<tr><td></td><td>Column1</td><td>Column2</td><td>Column3</td></tr>
<tr><td>Row1</td><td>1,1</td><td>1,2</td><td>1,3</td></tr>
<tr><td>Row2</td><td>2,1</td><td>2,2</td><td>2,3</td></tr>
<tr><td>Row3</td><td>3,1</td><td>3,2</td><td>3,3</td></tr>
</table>

*edit*
Mark, .bmp files don't display in a thread if it's attached; .jpg and .gif do display though. You could use a .bmp, though, if you used the {img} tags and linked to it on the web.

now here's a question. what HTML do i use to put the below picture into my sig?

First, find a website to host your image on. Then, include the following bit of html in your sig, replacing { } with < >...

{img src="address.of.image.extention"}

Make sure the quotes are included. No closing tag (i.e. {/img}) is needed to link an image. You could also have the image as a link to a web page by using the following code...

{a href="web.address.here"}{img src="address.of.image.extention"}{/a}

*edit: hopefully fixed code, fixed colors.

thanks! i'm editing my sig pic as we speak!

I can't see your image. I think that Geocities doesn't allow remote linking of images, and neither does Angelfire. I don't know offhand such a service that has free hosting and allows linking, but one shouldn't be too hard to find with a search.

Hmm, not being able to see the image... how ironic!

Many ISPs come with some free webspace. I know AOL and Charter.net allows allows remote linking to their space. Check with your ISP.
