Hello and welcome to this photo of a sea lion.

Testing the dirty lowdown… with backslash

Testing tables.

Rank Country Total Area Total Land Mass
1 Russia 6,601,665 6,323,142
2 Canada 3,855,101 3,511,022
3 China 3,747,877 3,624,807
4 United States 3,618,783 3,531,837
5 Brazil 3,287,955 2,966,151
6 Australia 2,969,906 2,966,151
7 India 1,269,345 1,147,955
8 Argentina 1,073,518 1,056,641
9 Kazakhstan 1,052,089 1,042,360
10 Algeria 919,595 919,595

Is it possible to add a leading space(s) or blanks for the Algeria values? Or, to right justify all values?

10 Algeria 919,595 919,595

Not even ascii code Alt-0160 will do it. I added a leading Alt-0157 and you get that box character.
If you cut and paste from Excel, it ignores the alignment.

Handy reference:

Very cool, I never knew about the colons.

You can align text in the columns to the left, right, or center by adding a colon (:) to the left, right, or on both side of the hyphens within the header row.

| Syntax      | Description | Test Text     |
| :---        |    :----:   |          ---: |
| Header      | Title       | Here's this   |
| Paragraph   | Text        | And more      |

I’ve found googling with “markdown code” as an added term will usually give you something that Discourse can understand.

Pretty cool. Thanks. With some playing with pipes…

I’m testing youtube embeds here

Looks good

Ah perfect it worked.
Been a while since I remember posting a link to a photo

I just saw a tip on Reddit that if you hold down zero you can make the degree symbol. This isn’t a discourse feature, it’s a phone feature.

72⁰C

That looks squished to me. If I just let google voice handle it let’s see how it looks.

72°C

Yeah, see, that looks much better. Weird.

On the iPhone it looks okay: 32°F.

alt0176 has always been the degree symbol. °
But nearly impossible on a phone I guess.
