Would someone know how to insert a TAB character in a message or writeboard? I wouls like to draw a table, and it would become handy.

You can actually use a lot of basic HTML in both the messages and writeboards. So table html works as well.

<table cellspacing="0" border="1" summary="" cellpadding="1" width="600">
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>

Sorry for the long post before… but I actually found an easier method from http://www.textism.com/tools/textile/index.php

You can create tables by adding the bar char. (|) before and after each piece of data like this: <table> <tr> <td>first colum</td> <td>second colomn</td> </tr> <tr> <td>another row</td> <td> 2nd row 2nd column</td> </tr> </table>

Hope this helps
