This application has been working great for converting Promash recipes into BBcode, HTML or plain text. It also has the ability to convert BeerXML files, but so far that has failed for me with Beersmith BeerXML exports.Enjoy!https://beerconverte...ReleaseId=23971Could we pin this?

I simply open the recipe in Promash, click the print icon, tick off the boxes I want and then select "copy to clipboard" and paste it right into my post. Is there something I am missing here?

Some people find it easier to read if the spacing is preserved.

That's what the Courier font is for.

How does courier preserve spaces?

I'm guessing he's thinking maybe because it is a monospaced font, i.e. each character takes up the same amount of space, so things stay aligned??

Things won't stay aligned unless there are the right number of spaces between columns and no font will fix that.

But you said above if the spacing is preserved... isn't that what the monospace font does, because even the size of a "space" in the font is the same as the size of any other character?

That's true but it doesn't help prevent the number of spaces from changing. The following should contain three rows of three columns each, all right justified. As you can see Courier is no help here.
