Multiple Column Tooltip

[Tarumi]

I already can make one or two column tooltips but how could I create, say, a five column tooltip? Or is the solution to just make one column and use a string and use tabs to explode an array of "columns"? I've searched around online but haven't found anything specific to WoW displays in tooltips.

Thanks!

Yes, but you would have to either use a library, or create your own frame and manage the font strings yourself; the GameTooltip object type (used by most tooltips in-game, including the one named "GameTooltip") only supports two columns.

Thanks Phanx! The second link you provided looks like it may work for my needs, the LibQTip is a bit overkill for all I need to display.
