I am having some trouble with text tagging. What I want to have is a section of text with:
1) Monospaced font - I can use the {tt} {/tt} tags. Are these only 'inline', or can I have them span multiple paragraphs?
2) How do I stop a single "*" or "_" being consumed and bolding or italicising the text?
3) How can I preserve multiple spaces?
I'm sure I'm just missing something obvious.

without the extra spaces - bold is { b } { / b } or { strong } { / strong }and italics is { i } { / i } or { em } { / em } - there are different multi- paragraph tags for these, see the link above.
make sure to check it with the previewing page link on the page.
I'm pretty sure you can't have multiple spaces, as such, but you can fake it with things like - - - or . . . .
Also Lazeez made a recent change to the formatting code:
I added escaping specifically to the underscore and asterisk if ever they need to be ignored.
So now, in text if you use * or _ (backslash+asterisk) or (backslash+underscore) the result would be the removal of the backslash leaving the asterisk or underscore untouched.
So you would need to write the formula like so: 50*50*3.14

Inline only.
2) How do I stop a single "*" or "_" being consumed and bolding or italicising the text?
You can escape them with \* or \_
3) How can I preserve multiple spaces?
Can't. Waste of bandwidth and visually unappealing.
