Formatting lost when posting

[Bluesystems]

I make a nice looking chart in the edit window.
I post the nice looking chart.
Sadly the posted result is now a chart that is a total mess as all the columns and words have shifted about making it very hard to understand.
Is there a way to over come this? Is this as good as computer editing gets in 2023?

Is there a way to show how you went about this?

Post it as picture. Either take snapshot or copy and paste to 'paint'.

Yes, prepare it away from here and post only when ready, in any number of formats.

I simply typed in the chart in the edit window as show in screen shot. All looks well.
Hit save and .... well now the chart is a mess.
Bit surprised as I got use to wysiwyg editors in the 80s and this one seems not even to support a Tab function.
Is there a better way to use this editor?
See attached screen shots.

Multiple spaces are normally consolidated, but there are methods you can use to preserve your intended spacing.

One is to use [code] tags. These give you monospaced fonts, and preserve multiple spaces. Example..

Below is a chart of the gains achieved.

Stage                AA-32 original              6F5P redesign.
Input                33.208dB 2.14% THD No FB    34.717dB 0.75% THD No FB
Phase splitter top   32.828 3%                   34.39 1%
Phase splitter bot   32.838                      34.39
Output plate         64.998                      64.03
Output 8 ohm Spk     39.432dB 3.18% THD No FB    38.464dB 2.25% THD No FB

Another way is to use tables. Example..

Below is a chart of the gains achieved.

Stage	AA-32 original	6F5P redesign
Input	33.208dB 2.14% THD No FB	34.717dB 0.75% THD No FB
Phase splitter top	32.828 3%	34.39 1%
Phase splitter bot	32.838	34.39
Output plate	64.998	64.03
Output 8 ohm Spk	39.432dB 3.18% THD No FB	38.464dB 2.25% THD No FB

We do now have a functioning tables option, if that would fit your needs.

This	is	a
3	X	3
	Table

Edit: Oh, AllenB sneaked a table in there while I wasn’t looking.

Thanks for the tip. That helps a lot. I will give it a try.
I does however still seem a bit retro having to use tags to get the formatting wanted all with no working Tab.
Even Word Star had a Tab function.

Got it.
Format text in a "normal" editor when the look matters.
Past into "code" window.
Result is now looking good.
Thanks again would have never figured this out on my own..
