Greetings BMR.
I have a technical issue that I would like advice or a solution on from someone who might be knowledgeable about such a thing. I am attempting to create a sort of rudimentary spreadsheet in a PM message to display in an analytic format about a long term RP of mine. We have a roleplay that has gone over 50 threads via PMing, covering about 25 in-RP years and such. What I'm trying to do is create a post where I can have a list of character names in a column on the left, with a thread # or title in a row at the top. With these two axis's, I intend to input numbers in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet format.
The problem is is that whenever I try to space data out, it all ends up converging on one side instead of spacing out in an orderly fashion. For example, I would have about five or six spaces between one row and the next, yet when I go Preview Post, it all bunches up on the left side as if I hadn't entered any spaces at all. Is there a reason for this, like why the system will interpret me entering five or six spaces and squeeze it out as one?
I would also like to ask if there is some sort of Indentation command prompt you can perhaps write into the post. Like when you putting in images, you type and [/ img] with the url between. Is it possible with Indenting? Probably like a [indent = ###] and [/ indent] command?
It's not a make or break issue for me. I could always just use Excel like a normal person and email it to my partner, but I generally try not to pry into people's personal lives outside of roleplaying, for which emailling can be considered doing so. But before I attempt this alternative, I just wanted to check with the fine, amazing people of BMR if there is a solution for this.
I have checked the first two pages of threads on this board incase this was brought up but I didn't see anything. If it has been addressed, could someone kindly inform me and I can go search further for it? Otherwise I'd appreciate any help.
Thank you!
