New Request for update - code and/or fixed font quotes
Edit: added link to table in question.

I'm trying to past a table in another forum, [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=102246|here], and it's using a proportional font. According to [link|http://www.citycat.ru/doc/HTML/IExplorer.30/fontfrmt.htm#FixWidth|this], [code]this should be fixed width[/code] (using angle brackets) should produce:

this should be fixed width


And it does, unless the text covers more than one line. E.g.

[code]

This is a very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very long sentence with many line breaks.

This gives an "Unmatched tag found" error on attempting to preview.

[/code]

Buglet, or am I misusing that tag?

Also, a [font=large,small,huge,fixed,green,red] or similar WeeCode would be appreciated. Some of us here are novices when it comes to HTML.

Alternatively a - "This is how you do it, you hoser!" - bash upside the head would work as well. :-)

Thanks!

(Although this is more of a suspected buglet than a tip or request, I thought I'd keep it in TFNzU to remind us of some of the WeeCodes.)

Cheers,
Scott.

You're typing on a device that stores trillions of pieces of data and makes billions of computations per second with the ability to grab data on almost anything from around the world in milliseconds, using electricity transmitted from hundreds of kilometers through wires on towers dozens of meters tall connected to megastructures that do things like burn coal as fast as entire trains can pull into the yard, or spin in the wind with blades the size of jumbo jets, or the like, which were delivered to their location by vehicles with computer-timed engines burning a fuel that was pumped up halfway around the world from up to half a dozen kilometers underground and locked into complex strata (through wells drilled by diamond-lined bores that can be remote-control steered as they go), shipped around the world in tankers with volumes the size of large city blocks and the height of apartment complexes, run through complex chemical processes in unimaginable quantities, distributed nationwide and sold to you at a corner store for $1.80 a gallon, which you then pay for with a little piece of microchipped plastic, if not a smartphone, which does all of the aforementioned computer stuff but in a box the size of your hand that tolerates getting beaten up in your pocket all day.

But technology never seems to advance...
