Well, you could have checked the format of your text, because it propably doesn't look like you intended.
If you would have used <c></c>-tags around your sample data, the format would be visible.
Directly below the form fields, where you compose your questions, are some text and several links, which advise you how to mark up your question, code and data.
With code-Tags your examples could look like this:
your 1st example:
heading 1, heading 2, heading 3
data, data, data
data, data, data
your 2nd example:
heading 1, heading 2
data, data
data,
heading 3
data
heading 4, heading 5
data, data

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
