Hi All,

I would like to try and post my first tab up. But I just wanted to know if it is possbile to change the font type to courier. The tabs get out of whack, when I paste the tab into this text message.

What's the best solution to enter tabs, if I can't change the font type?

Kenny

The courier font is used when you surround the tab with ... tags.

If you type:

Tab it out here

you'll get

Tab it out here

You'll just have to watch out for the line length ... too long and it will word-wrap.

By far the best way to get tab together is to use an external ASCII-text editor (such as Windows Notepad). The default font is courier - you'll be able to see how everything lines up as you're typing.

When you're finished, copy everything from the editor and paste it into the GN input box, surrounded by the code tags ( ............. )

I have a file that contains a blank tab line:
|---------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------|

I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.

Hi All,

Thanks, I was wondering what the code button was actually for (couldn't find any help on the meaning).

I have already typed everyhing in notepad using courier, so I was trying to figure out how to place that into this message body.

Much appreciated.
