Anyway to simulate a table, i.e. to line things up?

12. Thanks much for all the tips in #10 - they were all new to me

If you plan to update a lot of your previous posting that got broken by the disabling of most HTML tags here, you have your work cut out for you.

Fortunately, only those 2 tables I've shown upthread really needed special formatting care.

I was kind of disappointed on the "fix" the Admins implemented after the second scripting attack - it seems they used an axe when a scalpel would have been sufficient.

Yeah, it's hard for me to understand why the ones that have buttons for them -- {b}, {i}, {u}, {link:url|visibleblueunderlined}, and {blockquote} are safe from script attacks, but all the others aren't.

I wish there was a way to have a comment that only I see -- in the old days, anything inside square brackets, including the square brackets, was invisible when posted into DU. I have a ton of stuff with comments in it that I paste into my Economic Statistics page from Word. [Now any such comments are exposed, like this]

The updated version of the Jobs Presidents table in #9 for those curious how Trump did

Presidents ranked by Average Annual Percentage Increase In Jobs:


Of course, Trump is benefiting from the positive momentum that he inherited from Obama, whereas Obama inherited several months of multi-hundred thousand monthly job losses from Bush.

Oh, if someone compares to #9, they will see that the numbers have changed a little bit for Carter and all the presidents thereafter. Every year the Bureau of Labor Statistics revises the damn numbers for several decades. Maybe Obama will eventually edge out Ford in a future revision (when more decimal places are shown, Ford has a slight advantage now).
