I was able to get the code working by constantly hitting preview and adjusting the categories until everything lined up. That said, is there a trick to getting the code all lined up correctly or is it just a case of trial and error?

I ask because this:

... looks all messed up when typing it into the text box (hit quote to see how weird it looks with inconsistent spaces between categories and whatnot).

The problem is that the text box uses a regular font where different letters have different width whereas the code box uses a monospaced font so you can align things by using spaces and tabs. You can use a monospaced editor like Notepad in Windows to generate the formatting you want and paste it into the text box, but it's a bit cumbersome.
