Question

Text Formatting - Format Codes to the right in HTML

How do I format a specific type of text to be formatted to the right on an HTML output?

Here is the layout in FrameMaker. The code names are formatted to the Right just like I want it.

Here is a picture of the HTML output. The code names become integrated with the text. Not what I want.

The issue here is that your Fm layout is using tabs, and there is no tab entity in HTML. You might be able to accomplish this with non-breaking spaces in HTML ( ) or em spaces ( ) or use padding values via CSS. But I don't know that any of those options will provide a satisfactory solution.

Does this have to be done in FrameMaker or edited in Notepad?
