For formatting reasons, I would like to add extra spaces between words. Discourse normally removes these spaces, but sometimes it improves readability. I can use backticks, but that changes the font. I can use [image]but that vanishes the next time I edit the text. Is there a way to add extra space…

What about a table? Earth Survey Report Material Value Modifier Duranium 374,100 1.00 Neutronium 121,600 0.60 Corbomite 148,400 0.90 Tritanium 183,700 0.70 Boronide 146,400 0.90 Mercassium 124,500 0.80 Vendarite 125,600 0.70 Sorium 166,700 0.80 Uridium 105,200 0.70 Corund…

You could also put a named wrap around your report and apply CSS to that: [image] I find this easiest in the Markdown composer: [wrap=game-report] Duranium: 374,100 1.00 Neutronium: 121,600 0.60 Corbomite: 148,400 0.90 ...etc. [/wrap] Add your custom CSS: [data-wrap="game-report"] { …

Yes, I independently arrived at this solution before I came back here. Much better for what I need. Thanks. I really need to start learning markup properly. My background is C++/C# etc. And I just programmed the game to generate the survey data including the table markdown, as an option …

Thanks, this is also an interesting solution. I have no experience with CSS at all. Something else I need to learn :slight_smile:

Making custom CSS changes on your site is a nice primer & walkthrough.

Thanks - that looks very interesting. I’ve bookmarked and I will spend some time on it.
