How to keep repeating spaces?

Hi, I would like to post tables in my forum. They uses spaces to keep the columns aligned. My little forum converts multiple spaces into one.

E.g. this is how a table looks like when pasted into mlf:

D Time N Max Min Mu StDev Z PstUp
0 1000 1151 36.75 -33.50 -0.14 4.67 -1.01 46.57
0 1100 1151 40.75 -41.50 -0.06 7.33 -0.29 50.91

Also: The font when composing a message has the same width for all characters. When a message is displayed, another font is used (I'm sure the programmers here now what I mean)

I would like the tho lines below to be equally wide:
iii
www

I guess the two things I ask for:

1) How can I change the font type (eg into Consolas) ?
2) How can I disable the forum's merging of consecutive spaces into into just a single space?

I guess the two things I ask for:

1) How can I change the font type (eg into Consolas) ?

You can change the font in the CSS file (style.min.css). Search for the rules of div.posting and set a rule for the font property (font: monospace;). If the headline (title of the posting) and the authors info should be displayed with "normal" font, set the correct font type for div.posting h1 and div.posting p.author.

2) How can I disable the forum's merging of consecutive spaces into into just a single space?

That's a feature of HTML. You can use the bb-code codeblock to generate a table.

--------------------
| id | description |
--------------------
|  1 | one         |
|  2 | two         |
| .. | ...         |
| 11 | eleven      |
--------------------

Hi,

That's a feature of HTML. You can use the bb-code codeblock to generate a table.

or use the (not shown) BB-Code [PRE] [/PRE] e.g.

--------------------
| id | description |
--------------------
|  1 | one         |
|  2 | two         |
| .. | ...         |
| 11 | eleven      |
