== Tabspace ==

Difficult question. The use of tabs is not normal on Mediawiki based sites afterall. The first choice is to copy the character I'm about to give in the following quotes:

"	" (copy in edit mode please).

Now if you want to indent a whole paragraph then that's simple:

:simply write a colon(:) at the very start of the paragragh as shown here (see in edit mode). Do you see it. I'm gonna write some non-meaningful text now so that you understand that using this method will indent the whole paragraph and not just one line. So don't take it the wrong way, okay? Do you get it? You get it don't you? Of course you got it! There's no way you couldn't have got it, couldn't you? You did, didn't you? Of course you did. Ahem, that's all.

I'm afraid that's all I can do since tabspace isn't normally used in websites, only on paper. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] -  07:24, 23 April 2012 (CDT)

See [http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?TextFormattingRules this] for more details. Especially the '''Indented Paragraphs ''(Quotes)''''' section. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] -  07:30, 23 April 2012 (CDT)

:But personally I'd giveup on tabbing. It doesn't suit the web, only pdf or word files or paper(hardcopy). [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] -  07:37, 23 April 2012 (CDT)

::If it's song lyrics (single line each) then just use the colon(:) method. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] -  11:21, 23 April 2012 (CDT)

Chancs, if you post the raw and the translation (only 3-4 lines?) then I'm sure someone could "fix" it to look like in the raw. [[User:Vaelis|Vaelis]] 12:47, 23 April 2012 (CDT)

You don't have a pic of the raw? [[User:Vaelis|Vaelis]] 14:55, 23 April 2012 (CDT)

For that the best way would be to use tables or the div tags. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] -  14:57, 23 April 2012 (CDT)

Like so:

<div>
<div style="float: left; margin: 5px 20px; text-align:left;">
arastddtgfjf

hghgadsckadjcb

njmcbadscbn,jadsc,j

mcbjadbcjdbsjcb,kdscnka
</div>
<div style="float: left; width:5px; margin: 5px 20px; text-align:center;">
<!--Empty Space-->
</div>
<div style="float: left; margin: 5px 20px; text-align:left;">
tsrstrstystd

jhfkjladsCVlds

slkvklsdvkllsndlk

kjldvnkjldsvkldsnvn
</div>
</div>
<br style="clear: both;" />

Forget about the pic, I've downloaded the raw. [[User:Vaelis|Vaelis]] 15:35, 23 April 2012 (CDT)

After looking at the raw, I think it's wrong to add those tabs... The only tabs are for one line "Lears neckt ele ravience Shadir Isa jes qusi xin fears toga peg ilmei shel" and there is no tabs in the raw anywhere else. [[User:Vaelis|Vaelis]] 15:45, 23 April 2012 (CDT)


Ah, I apologize for the commotion about the tabs. On the raw, there were slightly larger spaces between some of the furigana-style words on the side (i'm not really sure what to to call them...) On the chinese version that I am translating from, there are also slightly larger spaces between some words. After googling it, I've actually fixed the spacing by using the '& nbsp;' code. And using lot of them. It looks really messy in the editing view, but it's okay on the actual page view.

I personally think that it looks better with this kind of spacing, but if you feel that it's wrong to add them, then feel free to undo my edit :)
