If you wish the text to be centred then precede the paragraph with three spaces (see Centred Text above).

If you wish to use a fixed font (for example) to make text line up into columns then you put '<pre>' on a line by itself before your text and '</pre>' on a line by itself after your text.
This is particularly useful for presenting Autoline-generated emails and cannot be bothered to create a Table, e.g.
<pre>
Company ->90 ->180 ->360 ->540 ->720 ->1080 1080-> Total

If you would like to include text into a box, you should encase the text with "«<" for a left-justified box and '>>>' for a right-justified box.
>>> This is a box on the right >>>
<<< This is a box on the left <<<
If you would like a border around the box, then add a "---" to the above commands
<<<--- This is a box with a border on the left <<<---
If you wish to set the width of the box, then simply use more than the three "---" which will then set the exact width. E.g.
<<<-------------------------------- This is a box with a fixed width and border on the left <<<--------------------------------
If you wish to add a comment to your page, that will be invisible to your website's visitors, then you have two options:
You can place a comment in the middle of a paragraph, by encasing your comment in hashes:
A little known fact is that Shakespeare was also an astronaut #please check this sounds crazy# and went to the moon as part of several space missions, as part of a team hand-picked by Julius Caesar.
You can also create a comment on a paragraph by itself, simply preceding the paragraph with a hash (there is no need to place a hash at the end of the paragraph).
# 14/07/2007The above paragraph is clearly nonsense and only a lunatic would believe that.
It's a good idea to precede all your comments with a date and your initials, so that other people editing your website will know to whom to report progress and how old the comment is.
You can easily search for your comments, by entering a hash into your website search; however a button has also been added to your editing toolbar.
