[edit] Genesis June 07, 2006

I ported this over from wikisource as {{indent}}. Seems useful for when a wikitable is contraindicated, yet one wants to line up several short columns of material. Indent can NOT be used in-line because of the leading '
'. This is at genesis the only difference between the two.

Displaying with nowikis:

---

{{ #switch: {{{1}}} | 0 = | 1 =   | 2 =    | 3 =     | 4 =      | 5 =       | 6 =        | 7 =         | 8 =          | 9 =           | 10 =            | 11 =             | 12 =              | 13 =               | 14 =                | 15 =                 | 16 =                  | 17 =                   | 18 =                    | 19 =                     | 20 =                      | 21 =                       | 22 =                        | 23 =                         | 24 =                          | 25 =                           | 26 =                            | 27 =                             | 28 =                              | 29 =                               | 30 =                                | }}<noinclude>[[Category:Uncategorised templates]]</noinclude>

I suggested over there at wikisource that the category ought to be 'Pretty print' or the like, along the lines of a pretty print program or filter in Computer Science, esp. used in the bad old days for C, C++, etc.

-apparently, something's also now broken here today too above '5'! // FrankB 15:59, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Not clear

It is not clear what this is all about. What is the meaning of n spaces in a proportional font? In a non-proportional font, why not just use spaces, like

  99
 100
1234
