Re: How to create Table with BBCode

Code:

We will create a table with 1 row in which there will be a column. Take a table code and inside the table create a row. Then inside the row, create a column.

[table]
[tr]
[td]Username[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

Until now, this is indeed what I did. It can be pain staking to add a column, as the data is spread out through the code (example).
I only recently found out you can also have columns within rows instead of rows within columns.

Example:

Code:

[table]
[tr][td]Username1[/td][td]Username2[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]UsernameA[/td][td]UsernameB[/td][/tr]
[/table]

Looks like:

Username1	Username2
UsernameA	UsernameB

Code:

[table]
[td][tr]Username1[/tr][tr]UsernameA[/tr][/td]
[td][tr]Username2[/tr][tr]UsernameB[/tr][/td]
[/table]

Looks exactly the same:

Username1

UsernameA

Username2

UsernameB

Update: the above code works fine, but when I edit my post, the forum changed it into something much bigger:

Code:

[table][tr]
[td][table][tr][td]Username1[/td][/tr][tr][td]UsernameA[/td][/tr][/table][/td]
[td][table][tr][td]Username2[/td][/tr][tr][td]UsernameB[/td][/tr][/table][/td][/tr][/table]

Now I'm confused why Tongue

By choosing the correct format based on your needs you make it easier for yourself later on.

Vertical borders
Use columns with just "|" to make vertical borders in or around your table (click for an example).
