In the old BB forums there was a space button. Does it still exist?
What I really need: an easy way to enter a table in a post. (like a post with 3 or 4 columns to display a list). Is that possible?

Instead of Arial (the default), you can use a fixed width font like Courier e.g.

Example of Courier New

If you want proper tables, try HTML (under other styles)

<table border="1">
<tr><th>Column 1<th>Column 2<th>Column 3
<tr><th>Row 1<td>Entry<td>Entry
<tr><th>Row 2<td>Entry<td>Entry
<tr><th>Row 3<td>Entry<td>Entry
</tr></table>

Arghhhhh!. It seemed to work to begin with but now it just displays source html

Not sure if that html thing works. It doesn't look so.

Courier new test:
test and 1 space : :end test
test and 10 spaces: :end test
=> not possible to format tables by adding spaces

?? your second line is one character longer than the first line (because "space" is shorter than "spaces")

10:          :
01: :

the [ code ] tag does spacing right, but does not understand suit symbols

of course you can use the default ascii suit symbols:

N    E    S    W
1♠   P    2♠   x
P    3♥   P    P
P

♥ ALT 3
♦ ALT 4
♣ ALT 5
♠ ALT 6

10:          :♥
01: :♠
N     E    S    W
1♠    P    P    P


also, ALT+255 on the keypad, combined with times new roman appears to give fixed width spaces and permits suit symbols...

Testing code tag:

6:      :
5:     :

Any idea how html works?

HTML works the same as code, just with different coloring.

But see Nigel's test above (and I had the same with preview). It seems that no html is displayed, but only the code?

Yes, isn't that what I said?

..so you said??: html is not html (html tags are not really translated), but it is code with another color?
...sorry that I didn't understand that
