Topic: Loosing layout (tabs,spaces) when pasting and writing text.

Hello,

when I write or paste some lines of text, PunBB messes up the layout.
Lets say I have got a Word document, or simply 3 collumns which I write with tab, the lay out is gone.

Example:

Name            Number             Email
test            1234              123@123.com
test2             12152                2414@fasljf.com
test3        42109842          8240924@faskf.com


It's not nice written, sometimes its too much to the left or right. In Word/notepad I can do it perfect (with tab), but I can't get it properly in PunBB.

How can I do it nice?
Thanks in advance!

Code blocks?

Edit:

foo    123
bar    456

Yep, code blocks are the only ones that do this. Or you'd have to add an extra BBCode that allows using <pre> tags.

In order for those to line up properly, you would have to use the exact same font and font size as PunBB does in posts.
