Tables in submissions

[The Sinister Chris]

If you wanted to theoretically include a table in a submission how would you go about doing that so that it still looks clean.

I tested one of my possible submissions and the table looked all crunched together. Apparently using tab isn't effective. Any suggestions?

Again this is only a possible submission, and I figured this is information that could be useful for anyone.

Another thing to consider - tables make me think of auto reject random item.

Bullet list might work.

Roll a d6:

• 1 - Lists are so much cooler, that is why the PMG won't let you make a table within a thread.
  
• 2 - Tables are bad m'kay, see result 1.
  
• 3 - Did you create a Utility Belt?
  
• 4 - Or a Wondrous SIAC?
  
• 5 - Is it an item with random effects?
  
• 6 - You have hit the word limit before the awesomeness of your item could be fully explored and you are using a table to save space instead of using preexisting rules?

Why not: If you really need a table, try using an underscore to space it out, but remember it may display differently on different browsers and on different window sizes.

Edit:
Damn you Anthony!

What is the formatting code to create bullet points?

Under the text box where you enter your post there is a thing that says:

"How to format your text" next to a button that says "Show". Push the button!

so so important:

You are now looking at a runic sentence sensitive to anyone posting a spelling mistake or template error!

Boom!

Oh dear. ;p

Standard HTML lacks a tab character, and web browsers are supposed to ignore multiple consecutive plain spaces, so you're kind of on your own when it comes to that type of formatting.

On the plus side, since there's no right answer, there's also no *wrong* answer, unless you completely fail to make it comprehensible.

For reference, past Top 32 items with "tables"/lists:
Amulet of the Rakshasa (bulleted list)
Needles of the Ebon Strand (spaced table)
Starborn Seeds of Manifest Denial (dashes to force spacing)

[GreySector]

There is a weird line spacing issue when I use the list function. The sentences outside my list have a different spacing between lines than the sentences inside my list. It makes the whole thing look junky.
Any idea how I can fix that?

Description
I have a big paragraph with a lot of words that has the main body of my item's description.

That's the forum software I'm afraid.

I don't believe they would count that against you at all as it is beyond your control.

I wouldn't let it worry you, you have shown you are trying to use the provided tools as best you can, and that's the important bit.

This question has always bothered me. I would love to be able to use the [table] option. Not just for random tables, for expediency, organization, and concision.
