Columns

[Varmint]

Is there a way to make columns in a post? For example, if I was comparing two cars side by side. Let's say I want to list the awesome gear ratios of the CR-Z down the left side. Then I want to list the same for some mediocre car to the right. A column format makes it easy to compare. I know how to do this using HTML. (I know just enough about HTML to be dangerous.) However, I've also seen posts where HTML tables display fine in one browser, but they break the page in others. I have no desire to be That Guy.

This feature may already exist and I'm just too PHP illiterate to know how to use it. If that's the case, I grant you permission to mock me mercilessly, provided you do some 'splainin first.

Big thanks!

not aware of one but for formatting purposes you could try using MS Excel and then copy and past it over like I did below

sample 1 sample 2
test A1 test B1
test A2 test B2
test A3 test B3
test A4 test B4
test A5 test B5
test A6 test B6
test A7 test B7
test A8 test B8
test A9 test B9
test A10 test B10
test A11 test B11
test A12 test B12
test A13 test B13
test A14 test B14
test A15 test B15
test A16 test B16

The help screen says that there's a table plugin installed, but it doesn't appear to be working. Your best bet would probably be to lay it in a program that uses a fixed with font. Tedious...Windows Notepad is probably your best tool for previewing.

Then make a block with the code tag, which will preserve the multiple spaces:

Sample   1   Sample   2  
-------.---.--------.---
Item   | X | Item   | Y 
Issue  | A | Issue  | B 
-------'---'--------'---
