Replace < and > with [ and ], and no need for a HTML code tag.

Re: 2015 Aurora Fall Open

Thanks very much Egidijus, that is great to know, I tried and it works. just a big blank space before the table.

[Kerry Liles]

Re: 2015 Aurora Fall Open

Thanks very much Egidijus, that is great to know, I tried and it works. just a big blank space before the table.

I haven't tried this, but perhaps putting something/anything ahead of the [table] tag?
Perhaps when the table is all by itself, there is a formatting problem?
... ok, after experimenting a little, it seems the white space ahead of the table is proportional to the number of rows in the table; more rows, more white space! Not sure how to counteract that... AHA!! - if you run all of the table html code into one continuous long line (without explicit returns) you will not get any white space!! SO, that means you can have zero or more hard returns inside the {table} tag to control the number of lines the table will appear below the text it follows. The following table has zero hard returns so follows *this* text immediately.

Row 1, item 1
Row 2, item 1	Row 2, item 2
Row 3, item 1
Row 4, item 1

Putting a {code} tag around the table puts the entire table in a "Code:" box but seems to reduce or eliminate the white space...

Row 1, item 1

Row 2, item 1
Row 2, item 2

Row 3, item 1

Row 4, item 1

Re: 2015 Aurora Fall Open

Graeme told that other 10 or more players joined the tournament. The list will be updated later tonight.
