Discourse supports Markdown. You can make tables, for stringing lists for example.

|Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3
--- | --- | ---

| Col A | Col B | Col C|
|---|---|---|
| C4 | 1024 | 82.6 |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| Things | Don’t | Need |
| To | Look | Pretty |
| Col A | Col B | Col C |
|---|---|---|
