Tables possible in Textkit-postings?

[Carolus_Raeticus]

Hello,

I intend to ask for help in Latin prose composition matters. To do so I would like to present the English original and my Latin translation alongside as a table (2 x 2 cells). Is that possible in Textkit?

Bye,

hi, welcome here.

You can’t do a table in the box, but what you can do is use the CODE tag (see at the top of the text box when you are posting). That makes everything fixed-width so you can align it. Example:

abcd     αβγδ
efgh     εζηθ

(I guess that would only work for shorter phrases, nothing long.)

Hello, klewlis.

Thank you for the hint, but that would make copying a section of text from either of the columns (e.g. in an answer to a posting) difficult if that section were spread across more than one line. But perhaps some day in a new version of BBCode…

Nunc valê!
