Question how do I preformat but still link?

I have some equations I want to lay out, but using pre kills the links.

For example:

P/E Ratio = MarketValuePerShare 
            ---------------------- 
            EarningsPerShare (EPS)  

Instead of using PRE, is there a way of linking to terms like MarketValuePerShare in this equation?

Thanks

Answer

You can format text as PRE by wrapping it in = = markup: write = ( pre. linked PreButWithLinking ) = to get ( pre. linked PreButWithLinking ) No spaces between = and (.

I think that's not true. Is this what you mean:

=P/E Ratio = MarketValuePerShare= 
=            ----------------------= 
=            EarningsPerShare (EPS) = 

Thus:

P/E Ratio = MarketValuePerShare = ----------------------= = EarningsPerShare (EPS) =

Boy, even if it did it would be ugly!

You want to use PRE and whitespace to align items, right? Let's try table:

A workaround is this using a TWiki table with no borders:

or this using equal signs and %BR%:

 P/E Ratio = MarketValuePerShare
             ----------------------
             EarningsPerShare (EPS)
