RIP Trevor. In 2019 when the task was to post text/comments in 2 columns, the only solution was create a table using BBCode . Now in 2021, is there maybe a better way? [[ My work around at the time, is not "a better way". It was to separate text L side from R side text by type any character between left side and right side text then change font color to white for characters in between to create spacing. ------------------------------------------- Commands to create table(s), sourced from Trevor 2019 thread TABLE and /TABLE to start and end a Table. TH and /TH within heading row, each- TH text /TH -forms each heading column TR and /TR to start and end a row. TD and /TD within a row, each- TD text /TD -forms each column. Which he suggests, once successful, samples of commands/text can be saved off site for re-use. Here's a table PTC Primus No.1 & 5, c.1965 - 1970Optimus No.1 & 5, c.1965-1970 >with recessed fillerxxx >TOP text right of filler:xxx LARGE Arabic script No 5, MADE in SWEDEN, xxx PRI*MUS REGD TRADE MARKxxx >SIDE of tank: no markingsxxx >BOTTOM of tank: MADE IN SWEDENxxx >Text on FLAT filler cap & vent screw:xxx SWEDEN | SWEDEN on bothxxx .xxx >No.5 burner cap w/PRIMUS SWEDENxxx >Trivet: std. pressed steel, text:xxx PRIMUS PRIMUS PRIMUS, MADE IN SWEDENxxx Here's the commands / text used to create ^^^ that table
Trevor helped me out with a particularly awkward formula in Excel. I'm pretty OK with it for the basic stuff and perhaps a little beyond that but I just couldn't get it to perform properly with one thing I needed it to do. I'd spent a couple of weeks on and off trying to sort it out but couldn't. In the end, I showed the spreadsheet to Trevor, explained what I wanted it to do and a day or two later he came back with the exact formula I needed. It worked a treat! That was all of 20 years ago and I don't think I'd have cracked it myself, not even now...
