    Code and VB buttons

    The description (box below) for the buttons when you hover over them says :

    Insert monospace text into your message
    Maybe a better description would be useful?

    I really think it means that each character is the same width (like Courier font).

    Marty is right, a mono space font is like Courier New that has the same width and space between all the letters. Times New Roman is a font that is not monospaced...

    More specifically, most true type fonts (like Times New Roman) are 'proportional' fonts. the letters are different sizes (proportional to each other). Code is almost always presented in mono spaced fonts so that each character is the same size. This allows you to line your code up.

    OK, now that we got clear what it means, don't you think it would be better to have a description like use this to enter code instead of describing the font?
