Use the code tag.

Well, it works but it's not very flexible. You can't seem to do any tags within a {code} tag so you can't do size, color, bolding and such. It would be nice if a monospace font was an option on the font tag instead of kludging it this way.

We gave u the finger and now u want the whole hand :O

There's a great Firefox add-in that even makes the forum buttons superfluous ..... head over to the FFx extension thread soon :D

cheers

Okay, let's try some testing to see just what works and doesn't:

 

numbered list item in code tag
numbered list item in code tag
 

note: using buttons will lose existing text entered so type tags manually

bold text in code tag

code tag in bold text

italic text in code tag

code tag in italic text

underlined text in code tag

code tag in underlined text

strikethru text in code tag

code tag in strikethru

size huge in code tag

code tag in size huge

red text in code tag

code tag in red text

color text and normal text in code tag

color text and color black text in code tag

Okay, basically, bolding and sizing doesn't work with code tags. If you use color, the font size varies depening on which tag is inside the other. Also, if you use color for "bolding", then it's best to use another color tag for black (even though black is not a choice on the color list) so that the text has the same font size. Also, keep your code tags to a minimum as a number of line feeds are added automatically whether you want them or not. Figured I'd post this here in case any one comes along as crazy as I am so they don't have to reinvent the wheel All for monospace text...sigh.....
