Posting fixed-width text products

#1 Postby Windsurfer_NYC » Thu Aug 02, 2007 1:55 pm

Hi Mods, first, my thanks for all your hard work and service that makes these boards a pleasure to use!

Question: is there a better way to post fixed-width text products than using the Code tag? The Code tag lines text up properly, but does not allow styled formatting. For example, maybe I'd want to highlight the 89 kt forecast by the SHIPS model in red or underline here:

Code: Select all
