In order to help set off content in email messages,
for example,
to demarcate a code snippet,
I will often put it in a box.
... but consider the following class:
class Muffin
{
public:
void Bake();
};
One of my colleagues apparently was fascinated by
this technique and couldn't figure out how it was done.
"Okay, I give up.
How do you get the nifty text boxes in your emails?"
You're going to hate yourself when I tell you the secret.
Just use this one weird trick.
Tell your email program to insert a 1×1 table.
Paste your text into the table.
It's that simple!
