Ummm hit the tab key in a word processor, copy the results and paste in the forum?

Not intended to be a sarcastic response by the way.

What about the Code tag?

Code: Select all

          10 or so spaces in front of these lines

I tried typing spaces and they got dropped.

Code: Select all

     
Here I'm trying the other suggestion of using 'code'.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work either.
I prefixed the first two lines with 10 and 5 spaces in between code & /code.<br><br><br>
I just tried a few 'br's

Okay, I get it.
The whole thing is in one code tag.
It should work, thanks.
