Align prices?

irwinr · April 2012

This seems like it should be insanely simple, but I can't find a discussion or any reference to how to do this.

I want to have a list of items with corresponding prices. However, this list has regular text paragraphs above and below on a standard Styled Text page.

The descriptions are of varying lengths (say 2-5 words) and I want the prices to line up.

If I was using a word processor I would use a decimal tab. How do I do this in RW? I've tried tabs or spaces, but both get compressed out.

Thanks!

Try this " &... " without the bracket, the "..." are the x number of "nbsp" that you need to get the required space. Don't forget to highlight " &.... " and check ignore formating in the RW menu "format".

If this doesn't suit your needs/style you can also try to use column/grid stacks of your choice keeping some columns empty between your item lists and price tags.
Another way to do perhaps that is in this tutorial: http://webdesignerwall.com/tutorials/css-menu-list-design.

Sorry in the bracket you should see this:

&nbsp&nbsp&..........................&nbsp
