Title: Table Tags
Post by Mr.Happy on Feb 9^th, 2003, 4:14pm

Has anyone been able to figure out how to successfully use the "Table" tag? Yabb lists it as a supported function, but I'm danged if I can figure out how to use it. What normally comes up is something like this:

Cluster stuff

Other Cluster stuff

Maybe it's just me, but the above seems a tad verbose.

Danged inquiring minds,
RJ

Randy, you already mastered a table with one row and two columns :-)

Each table entry is enclosed by [td][/td]
All entries in a row are enclosed by [tr][/tr]
And then the whole table is enclosed with [ table][/table]

Thus, a r rows * c columns table with entries Erc looks like:

[ table]
[tr][td]E11[/td][td]E12[/td][td]E13[/td]...[td]E1c[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]E21[/td][td]E22[/td][td]E23[/td]...[td]E2c[/td][/tr]
...
[tr][td]Er1[/td][td]Er2[/td][td]Er3[/td]...[td]Erc[/td][/tr]
[/table]

Pudding, a [ before table will make a table anyway, even with the box checked :-(

Leave off the Return's within the table, or you'll get extra blank lines.

Simple tables, just like HTML with <> replaced by []

And with the box unchecked you get:

E11	E12	E13	...	E1c
E21	E22	E23	...	E2c
Er1	Er2	Er3	...	Erc

Code:

[table]
[tr][td]E11[/td][td]E12[/td][td]E13[/td][td]...[/td][td]E1c[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]E21[/td][td]E22[/td][td]E23[/td][td]...[/td][td]E2c[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Er1[/td][td]Er2[/td][td]Er3[/td][td]...[/td][td]Erc[/td][/tr]
[/table]

Ueli's talking about the box that says "Check this if you'll be adding code (or don't like smileys)". Since I was adding code, I always Checked that box. What a jerk......

Like this, Mast	They actually do work	No room for error
Things line up	If you pay attention	Keep things uniform
Next thing you know	Jed's a millionaire	Obiwan does it again...

That's the first trick, Mast.......Do Not check the "Disable Smiles" box, and the table will function. Still have to work on a few more items to confuse the issue......like:

Each cell is centered......but you CAN'T center the table if the cells are centered (yet). Seems some starting tags must be closed before you can add another starting tag.
(Centered table, Uncentered cells)

Like this, Mast	They actually do work	No room for error
Things line up	If you pay attention	Keep things uniform
Next thing you know	Jed's a millionaire	Obiwan does it again...

Colspan=x, cellspacing=y, etc., don't work (yet).......spaces inside the individual tags seem blow the entire work of art to pieces. More testing required.......

Thanks again for your tutelage, Ueli. As usual..........if one wants a good haircut, one really should wait for the Head Barber.

Tag,
RJ
