Tabulating text

Is there any way to tabulate text in Sparkle?
When ‘Paste and match style’ is used my tabulation is lost.
Any help greatly appreciated.

@Bob when you say tabulation, do you mean a table?
If you are then no Sparkle doesn’t do tables or honour them when pasting.

You could use a Sparkle Embed widget though…

Hi Bob.

Tab stops don’t exist in HTML. And Sparkle does not support the horrible tables.
When you hit the tab stop key, 4 blanks are inserted. That’s it.
Maybe there’s a CSS method to do that.

Thanks for your replies guys.

Working on a golf club site with restaurant menus, league tables and competition lists, so needs to be on brand with fonts and easily editable. In this case a copy/paste from Numbers looks like the answer and scalable too.

Finding Sparkle a very elegant way to work though.

Hi Bob.

Isn’t that just a PNG like a screenshot?
For the menu i would recommend a PDF. That’s more elegant - for my taste. And the menu does not change very often.

Hi :wave:t2:

It is indeed possible to create tables in HTML, but Sparkle does not support them. However, you can easily embed a table created with Google Docs or Google Sheets on your website (File > Share > Publish to the web) using an embed code.

Thanks for your reply Allan.

I will try as you suggested.
