I found this browser extension to let you apply formatting codes to any page. It can be used to apply a monospaced font to Google Groups, which will help viewing tables and even ASCII art that people post.
I had always thought GG stripped excess white space, like tabs, multiple spaces, blank lines. But it seems that's not correct, they are all there, just not shown naturally. I changed my font to Liberation Mono and posted a test case, and all the spaces,
tabs and new lines show up.
If you are interested, the extension is called Style and here is some sample code to use.
/* ==UserStyle==
@name groups.google.com - 4/8/2023, 5:16:24 PM
@namespace github.com/openstyles/stylus
@version 1.0.0
@description A new userstyle
@author Me
==/UserStyle== */
@-moz-document url-prefix("
https://groups.google.com/g/") {
div[role=region] {
font-family: Liberation Mono;
display: block;
max-width: 50em;
white-space: pre-wrap;
}
div[role="region"] br {
display: none;
}
}
To use this with Chrome, I had to strip off the line
@-moz-document url-prefix("
https://groups.google.com/g/") {
and the terminating }
I hope this works for you.
