Any way to display a table neatly so that the rows line up regardless of the length of the entries?

The latest build of the Windows IDE has elastic tab stops for this purpose.

Long ago I experimented with embedding a spreadsheet in the documentation pane as well. This works but you have to manually copy and paste.

Or did you mean display it inside the game? This shouldn't be too hard, but you'll have to run through all the columns and rows and work out maximum lengths using indexed text calls.
