Is it possible to perform "tabs" in Multimarkdown?

Question

Is there a way to realize tabs in Multimarkdown syntax?

My Goal is something like:

• Item:-----------tab------->Value
• An other item:---tab--->Value
• And one item more:--->Value

I could realize that by a table, but this would be an overhead. I'd love it to stay a list.

Answer 1

You can type "tab" characters wherever you like. But there is no concept of alignment outside of a table since there is no way to know whether the resulting output will be displayed in a monospace or variable-width font. And since Markdown/MultiMarkdown eat unnecessary whitespace, the extra spaces would be stripped from the resulting output.

A list is designed to display sequential data. A table is designed to show tabular data. It seems that you want to show tabular data, but are trying to force it into a format that wasn't designed for that purpose.

So the concise answer to your question is "No".
