I've tried to bring them as close as possible in line but as Elliot said,

Galactopedia: the in-game Galactopedia help files are text files that use a very simple markup language.

So far no tag I came up with to format the list properly is working.
It's not reading your personalized, it's showing the default Key Mapping.
I've added Spaces (5 pixel) to balance it out using Large UI Size, the one I'm using.
Better than nothing but far from what I'd like to see.

Usage: "Distant Worlds 2\data\Galactopedia\GameConcepts\Key Mappings.txt" or "Distant Worlds 2\data\Galactopedia\GameScreens\Key Mappings.txt"

Sorry, but I don't quite understand what you're trying to achieve here. (?)
Editable keymappings are already in the game - so what do you need this for ?

[Thineboot]

Editable, yes, obviously, see image.
Overview, not so much as it's 5½ pages to scroll.

Unless you instantly memorize all those key mappings at least I want an easier, faster way to look them up.
Maybe we'll get a simple markup language as a by-product.

Ok, I can understand it now - thanks for explaining.
