vBulletin tables - supported?

[clubsoda]

vBulletin tends to discard white space or any attempts at formatting, so I was looking for a way to post a table. There is such a structure which goes something like this:-


first element1,21,3
bold 21middle right
31centre element should be blankbottom right


Obviously not working. Is my syntax bad or is this feature not active on this board?

Next challenge would be a spreadsheet function to print or export some selected cells in the above format for pasting directly into a forum post, surely pipedreaming now. :)

If you want to include text as is. use the QUOTE/CODE tages.
ie

asdf asdf asdf a


asdf asdf asdf a


Obviously with my example above the only way it worked was in the code tags :)

Thanks for the alternate solution.
Did you use noparse tags in your post? Very clever.


PS: The above text is in Fixedsys font, size 3, but it's not rendering as fixed width here. It seems that anything inside code tags is fixed width though. I'd mark this solved except that I think tables would still be good to have. :)

heheh no clever just simple. :)




This is what I posted.




EDIT:
Under posting rules. "HTML code is Off" This might be something to look at people that want to use tables could just use the html table code. But I am sure there is a very good reason for turning it off.

Unless I'm mistaken, now you're nesting noparses... this cleverness must stop immediately!
