Fabrik to display pure ascii list view

[Troy Hall]

I hope someone can help me...
I'm needing to display a form ( with filters ) that will take a entry
and display it using <pre></pre> or some other method where its in a
pure ascii format so that spaces and spacing is retained.
The exact character count and format is vital!!!
Any idea how this can be accomplished?
There are 3 fields that matter... and a 4th that is the source...
1) datetime
2) observatory
3) designation of the object
4) Entry record ( record of the actual observation made )

These are the filter fields...
the 3rd one has to be searched from the 4th which is a text field.
once its filtered it will display all matching 4th fields in an ascii
list format.
Appreciate the help

I believe full ASCII is only available in Joomla 3.5 with a database that is utf8mb4 compatible.

but there is also no built-in field type for ASCII See https://docs.joomla.org/Standard_form_field_types

Which brings us to creating custom field types https://docs.joomla.org/Creating_a_custom_form_field_type

when I use a "text" field and have the form field as raw it should be fine shouldn't it?

@brian its purely for display.  It's the format that nasa wants it so .. the only thing else I can do is try to get peter to teach me his JS trick where it copies as text when they click on it.
