There is a tab-size attribute that you can use but it can’t contain more than one number and it only handles ”number of spaces” for a tab like tab-size: 6 Will give you 6-spaced tab. To get the layout in HTML I instead suggest another approach. Replace each tab with an HTML-element to convert the text into something more HTML-like. I.e. 1<tab>2<tab>3 can be converted to something like <span>1</span><span>2</span><span>3</span> Then you can style your HTML in the way you want… Or if you really want table data in HTML you can use a (drumroll please ;) <table>! Converting a text field with tabs to an HTML table is a fairly straightforward process:
function tabTextToHTMLTable pText set the itemDelimiter to tab put "<table>” into tHTML repeat for each line tLine in pText put "<tr>” after tHTML repeat for each item tItem in tLine put ”<td>” & tItem & ”</td>” after tHTML end repeat put ”</tr>” after tHTML end repeat put "</table>” after tHTML return tHTML end tabTextToHTMLTable There is an OLD proposal (like from 1998 or 97 if I remember correct) about tab-stops in HTML but to my knowledge it has never been implemented. :-Håkan On 5 Mar 2019, 14:59 +0100, hh via use-livecode <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com>, wrote: > > Roger G. wrote: > > Is there any way to export myFld to URL and retain the Tab spacings > > 15,250,320 ? > > ... > > I’m working with rtfText instead of HTMLText.
