I wonder if they only issue the Braille job application form in English?

If the job application form is available in other languages, surely they should also be available in those languages in Braille?! We wouldn't want a blind Bengali speaker to feel that he couldn't apply for a job as an air traffic controller.

Here's a thought. If the advert appeared in print, in English, how would blind people or non-English speakers know that the application form was available in other formats?

In the reply window it's one of the three little buttons on the right hand side of the formatting options - here's a picture.....

OK. How would I have used it to make my reply look as I wanted it? Please use KISS.

once you've got it how you think it ought to look, just highlight all the relevant text in the reply window and click the "wrap {CODE} tags about the selected object" button. That's all.

It's not really a feature that BE needs, but the forum software has it built in because many techy geeky forums that use the same software are used to post snippets of computer code, where the exact formatting and numbers of spaces can make a difference to the syntax. "Regular" forum posts are in plain vanilla HTML which strips out superfluous spaces.

I need some practice but I think I'm getting the knack.

Code:
    .       .......    .......   .......
   . .      .    .     .         .
  . . .     .  .        ..       .....
