Ability description formatting

[kokon]

I want to print part of the ability description in a table format.
The thing is, the columns do not align perfectly. Is there a way to put 1/2 of space or 1/4 of space? Or 1.1 space? so I can adjust width a little? maybe some hidden symbol / transparent text or some way around it?

According to this there is not much way to do columns or any advanced formatting sadly.

In that thread, the guy wants a straightforward solution. But if I could make the dot invisible or add some whitespace that is not equal to normal whitespace, that could be more than enough. May be I can insert a tiny icon or smth...

You cannot really insert icons or something. Even some special characters straight up will not display, like emojis.
The thing that comes to my mind is to colour-code values by level. Wc3 tooltips are very basic, but they do get the job done if you adapt a bit.

other whitespace characters with various width seem to change to empty string

From my testing with fonts, the font format Warcraft 3 uses, it accounts for symbol width by itself, so technically you're free to insert however big spaces as font symbols you want, you just need to import custom font for that purpose (or edit the current one you use). You can see my Tutorial on Fonts for more details. Personally I've used custom font symbols to replace words such as "attack range" simply by displaying an arrow/bow symbol.
