Re: Re: Re: OT how to
There's no easy way to do that. You can use the space tag {s} to create blank spaces, but you'll have to count out the spaces you needs. You can add a number to the space tag, like this: {s:10} would give you 10 spaces.

This is a line.
                     This is the next line.
                                                     This is another line.


With ML shown:

This is a line.
{s:11}This is the next line.
{s:27}This is another line.

It's not likely to end up "perfect" though. And what you see might be different than what someone else sees, depending on screenshit, zoom level, etc. So it pays to note that screen width will have a big impact on how this looks to people. Smaller screens will wrap the lines around after less characters... so this is always hit or miss. You have to keep the lines SHORT in order to more or less guarantee the display.

You could use the {pre}{/pre} tags to "preformat":

This is a line.
                    This is the next line.
                                                   This is another line.



But again...
your mileage will vary there, in terms of layout, screenwidth, etc.
There's also some other spacing trade-offs.

Best,
