How to create a table

[Thomas Klemm]

In a recent thread I tried to create a table:

   10: 1.291303564
   20: 1.291290482
   50: 1.291286729
  100: 1.291286183
  200: 1.291286042
  500: 1.291286006
 1000: 1.291285997

For this I used the Unicode character NO-BREAK SPACE U+00A0.
Is there a simpler way to create a table?

Even in a code-block multiple spaces are sometimes ignored:

Code:


     1
   10
  100
 1000

It appears that leading spaces of the first line are ignored. For the following lines at least two spaces are needed. But in a code-block we can't underline. Thus we couldn't use it in this case.

Maybe there's a plug-in for tables?
