I need my scripts to look well presented.

For example, 5 spaces were here.

They do not appear.

On windows hit alt+255 to get a non-breaking space character which will not be stripped. You can use copy+paste to get a set of 4 or so of them and paste it in for tabbing.

It doesn't work.

ALT+255 does bring up the space, but it still doesn't work.

@Quenty
It works, but if I copy + paste the spaces it creates, it doesn't show up, I have to do the alt code by hand. Any tips?

I still have to make it by hand, when pasting and previewing, it will only show the original hand typed alt code, not the pasted ones.

So? It's not that hard to memorize 0160.

Do it once, copy the character, paste it in. :/

Then copy multiple 0160's.

Like this:

It probably omits the no breaks from the copypasta depending on your browser. Try it with a different one.

alt + 255 doesn't work for me anymore when I copy/paste it. I have to do it manually and it's a complete pain. Partially why I got the forum enhancer extension for chrome.

"alt + 255 doesn't work for me anymore when I copy/paste it."

That's called "getting a better editor".

"I have to do it manually and it's a complete pain."

That's ALSO called "getting a better editor."

"Partially why I got the forum enhancer extension for chrome."

Why don't you get a better editor instead of getting the forum enhancer?


I just write the scripts in my script editor, highlight a tab and copy it, put it in the search&replace window, put four times ALT+0160 (ALT+255 would work too, but I've always used AL+0160) in the replacement and click "Replace all". Yeah, it's THAT easy.

It's called using it on roblox's post creator.

Nope, it's also called using roblox's post creator.

""Partially why I got the forum enhancer extension for chrome."

I have a few code editors, but I prefer to not open them every time I write a piece of code.

"I just write the scripts in my script editor, highlight a tab and copy it, put it in the search&replace window, put four times ALT+0160 (ALT+255 would work too, but I've always used AL+0160) in the replacement and click "Replace all". Yeah, it's THAT easy."

Never thought of that, thanks for the advice, will do.
