By the way, housekeeping, how do you type text into a text box and do formating that way? Using html code (like < i > without the spaces) still works, but I've heard people mentioning some improvement that I'm not seeing?

A while ago Manlobbi added another text/font html command, the <tt> code, which changes the font to uni-space (like Courier on the old IBM electric, and often called “ teletype” or “typewriter” owing to the history of...). With all characters taking exactly the same space, you can do reasonable columns, and therefore charts. I do not know if tabs or paragraphs are supported, since I’ve never tried.

What I would like to know is how Elias Fardo changed from a serif to a San serif font in the middle of a post, on Post #22658 on the Berkshire board. And back again.

And for those who would like to know how I managed to put <tt> in the sentence above without having to say “without the spaces”, here it is, except with spaces .

< t < t t > < / t t > t >

So it’s opening chevron and “t”, then you put in a full html command and make the machine forget about the original opening chevron & t, then reverse the process coming out.
