You don't see this kind of thing often on message boards, not to mention the tag would look a bit awkward... But I can consider this, it beats spaces

Yeah, especially since consecutive spaces are removed by the editor.

Yeah, I don't want to have to copy and paste tabs every time I have a long post

So far I'm not having any luck since it looks like you can't use tabs in HTML the same way you would in a word doc. It might not be possible to do this in a very convenient way...

Can't you just make it that instead of coming up with [tab] when you press the button, you have ' ' when you press the button? (Look closely and you'll see that it's not a series of spaces). Alternatively, if you type in [tab] it gets replaced by ' ' after being posted?

Greg, this isn't a bad idea. I appreciate you trying to "code" it. In my opinion, this could be helpful for long posts or big announcements.

Well the first issue is that we can't use [tab] by itself, it must have a closing [/tab] tag to go with it. Plus HTML ignores extra spaces anyway, so I might have to do something cheap to simulate a working tab.

There's an HTML code for a tab/whitespace. I forgot what it was but it starts with an & I bet.

That's probably our only option, but technically tabs are not spaces don't forget Lists are different, the [*] is hard-coded into the forums _________________Current project(s):

Just wondering though, does anyone actually use the list tags apart from me? Because if they did, they wouldn't really need tab or anything.

Yeah, but you can't list things one after another. An example: Cannot be achieved with [*]Item 1 [*] Item 2

That's because lists don't work like that.
