How to post a table?
« on: August 20, 2008, 07:51:09 AM »
I've enabled the table code on a forum but I don't see or find how to use it?

How do we use it?

Thanks! :)
Rick.

The SMF table bbc workings in the same way as normal html tables.

Except that you use square brackets [] instead of <>.

Like this:
Code: [Select]
[table]
 [tr] [td]1.1[/td] [td]1.2[/td][td]1.3[/td][/tr]
[tr] [td]2.1[/td] [td]2.2[/td][td]2.3[/td][/tr]
[tr] [td]3.1[/td] [td]3.2[/td][td]3.3[/td][/tr]
[/table]

Turns into:
1.11.21.3
2.12.22.3
3.13.23.3

There should be a little table button to click.

Thanks LH.  Yes, I enabled the button...

Ick.  So no way to paste a table from another source...or have cells to put text into?

The typical user of my forum will find this very cumbersome.  Is there another way that's more user friendly?

I don't believe that SMF can handle copying tables from other sources, although the WYSIWYG editor from SMF 2 Beta may be able to handle it from certain sources.... ;)
