HOWTO: Use tables in a FISD Post

[Darth Aloha[Admin]]

This has been broken on FISD for a really long time. I finally fixed it. You can now use tables here on FISD.

 

Until I figure out how to otherwise specificy a width, all tables are 100% of the width of the post area. You should be able to use all the regular formatting options inside each TD.

 

For those of you who aren't up on how HTML tables work here is an explaination of the tags:

• TABLE - This is the table tag (hello?!)
  
• TH - Table header. For now it is always gray. This tag takes an option of how many columns to span. This is an optional tag.
  
• TR - Table row. This tag must contain TD tags.
  
• TD - Table data(?) This is where the cell text goes. You may specify the percent of table with this tag's option.
  

Example 1:

 

[table]
[th]Column 1[/th][th]Column 2[/th]
[tr][td=25]Cell 1 - 25% Width[/td][td=75]Cell 2 - 75% Width[/td][/tr]
[tr][td2]Cell 3[/td2][td2]Cell 4[/td2][/tr]
[/table]

 

Makes:

 

[table]

[th]Column 1[/th][th]Column 2[/th]

[tr][td=25]Cell 1 - 25% Width[/td][td=75]Cell 2 - 75% Width[/td][/tr]

[tr][td2]Cell 3[/td2][td2]Cell 4[/td2][/tr]

[/table]

 

Example 2:

 

[table]
[th=2]Column 1 Spanning Two Columns[/th]
[tr][td=80]Cell 1 - 80% Width[/td][td=20]Cell 2 - 20% Width[/td][/tr]
[tr][td2]Cell 3[/td2][td2]Cell 4[/td2][/tr]
[/table]

 

Makes:

 

[table]

[th=2]Column 1 Spanning Two Columns[/th]

[tr][td=80]Cell 1 - 80% Width[/td][td=20]Cell 2 - 20% Width[/td][/tr]

[tr][td2]Cell 3[/td2][td2]Cell 4[/td2][/tr]

[/table]

 

 

Example 3:

 

[table]
[tr][td]
[center]Cell1[/center]

[center][/td][td]Cell 2[/td][/tr][/center]

[tr][td2]Cell 3[/td2][td2]Cell 4[/td2][/tr]
[/table]

 

Makes:

 

[table]

[tr]

[td]

Cell[/td]

[td]Cell 2[/td][/tr]

[tr][td2]Cell 3[/td2][td2]Cell 4[/td2][/tr]

[/table]
