Good find, I can't really find a practical use for a lot of them, but I'm sure I will.

Is it just me or are the two sides of that 'table' thingy not aligned

It is, it seems like they aren't because of the space between them. Just highlight the text on one side and drag it to the other and sure enough it is aligned. I didn't know how I should format the "table" so i just aligned one side to the left.
