Try using [code] ... [/code] tags.

Code:
1   2   3   4
i   W   i   W
e.g.

Code:
I . I . I . I . I . I . I . I . I . I . I

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  10  11


I . . I . . I . . I . . I . . I . . I . . I . . I . . I . . I 

1     2     3     4     5     6     7     8     9    10    11
You may find it easier to use notepad or similar (with a font like "courier") to do the editing.
