Having Problems with "[code] [/code] html Tags...

[Guest]

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't the "code" tag retain the layout of text? An ASCII table (such as NWS statements) will look EXACTLY like ASCII. Correct?

Instead when I use the "code" tag, it just throws everything together into a "paragraph" disregarding the format.

For example, we all know how NWS Hazard Weather Outlooks look; they definitely don't look like this when using the "code " tag:

Code: Select all

Hmmmm, usually it does work. I know what you're talking about, but I can't see why it wouldn't keep the layout as is.

I tried quote tags also, but obviously, got the same thing.

Sorry...I tried. I'm sure someone else can figure it out.
