Hello, I've been spending quite some time to figure out in-game formatting of blobs. So far, I'm either disliked by the Internet hamster or blind as I cannot find any useful documentation available concerning this subject. I'm trying to make text formatting line up, which is kind of hard since in-game blobs use another font than what I have initially been working with (Lucida Console in Notepad). So can anyone point me in the right direction, please? This problem comes as a result of implementing the !axp command (which gives an overview over alien level, alien level experience and also alien rank), found in this thread: http://bebot.shadow-realm.org/index.php/topic,239.0.html-- Sincerely, Gilfar |

You could use spaces, or find a way to use table formatting  |

The layout is using space. I've also tried with no-breaking space and tabs, without the desired effect.
I did experiment with tables as well, but I'll have a look at it again using tables to be sure.

It's easy if you go the table route, it supports HTML tags.
I've done it for a few things when it required specific layouts.

On November 9th I contacted Funcom regarding this issue in hopes of getting some form of documentation regarding what HTML-tags are supported in-game, general formatting and the likes.
I have yet to hear from them.

Got the following from Funcom support the other day:
"Unfortunately that is not released to the public."
So I'm glad that clear things up.

there's no real solution.
something like tables simply isn't supported.
and due to the fact people can select different fonts, building a string width calculator won't help either.
all you can do is mess with spaces and characters made black to use for more minor spacing.
if only FC gave use something to mono-space the text, that would ease alot of things.

Actually custom fonts only applies to tell and chat windows. The info windows don't appear to be affected by custom fonts. Atleast not how I tried it. |

The only problem that can't be solved by adding another wrapper is having too many wrappers.
