Tables

[SCU13A]

I have tried and failed to create a table to my specifications
I was trying to reference to a link given to me but I was not able to add more columns, just more and more rows


=====l Name 1 l Name 2 l Name 3 l Name 4 l Name 5 l Name 6
[ X ]
[ X ]
[ X ]


The first two rows all I need is a single line of space, but the third row I would like to be able to add up to 8 things going down vertically, if that makes any sense at all? Any help would be appreciated

Go to advanced posting and use WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get.) It's the button in the top left. It lets you see the coding you've done as it will appear in your post. If you don't want to, I'll figure out how to actually code it.

So, I did a little bit of searching.
[TABLE="class: outer_border, width: 500, align: left"]
So, this is the main problem. Instead of just [table], you have to have these special elements in.
the "class:" part defines what kind of borders it has, use outer_border if you want a border around the whole table but not between cells, use grid if you want a border between everything. Delete the "class:" part all together if you want no borders.

The "width:" part decides how large the table is horizontally. This is required. 500 is the default.

"align:" is the final element, it can be either "left", "center", or "right", or you can exclude the "align:" all together and it will align left by default.

To define a row, put a [TR] tag. To add a cell in a row, add a [TD] tag.

For example:
[TABLE="class: outer_border, width: 500, align: left"]
[TR]
[TD]Sora[/TD]
[TD]Is[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Very[/TD]
[TD]Awesome[/TD]
[/TR]
[/table]

Yields:

Sora	Is
Very	Awesome

Ask about what you don't understand.

Also, I'm loving the [hr] tags.

Huh, look what I found on the second page of the suggestion forum, a thread about tables!

For your particular desires,

Row 1
Row 2
Row 3 Column 1	Row 3 Column 2	Row 3 Column 3	Row 3 Column 4	Row 3 Column 5	Row 3 Column 6	Row 3 Column 7	Row 3 Column 8

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500, align: center"]
[TR]
[TD]Row 1[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Row 2[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Row 3 Column 1[/TD]
[TD]Row 3 Column 2[/TD]
[TD]Row 3 Column 3[/TD]
[TD]Row 3 Column 4[/TD]
[TD]Row 3 Column 5[/TD]
[TD]Row 3 Column 6[/TD]
[TD]Row 3 Column 7[/TD]
[TD]Row 3 Column 8[/TD]
[/TR]
[/table]

No, there is no way to center those first two rows, as far as I know.

If you want to have the first two rows centered, make three rows looking like the third row and leave some cells blank.

Perhaps you could use two grids instead of one to simulate the desired effect?

Row 1

Row 2

Row 3 Column 1

Row 3 Column 2

Row 3 Column 3

Row 3 Column 4

Row 3 Column 5

Row 3 Column 6

Row 3 Column 7

Row 3 Column 8

I did not understand what they were doing honestly. Something like this,

...

Name/Health	Tom, David; Good	Sally; Fair (Sprained Ankle)	Character	Character	Character	Character
Held Item	Flashlight	Cane
Rope, Knife, Xxx, Xxxx, Xxx, xxx	Hammer, Parka

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500, align: center"]
[TR][TD]Name/Health[/TD][TD]Tom, David; Good[/TD][TD]Sally; Fair (Sprained Ankle)[/TD][TD]Character[/TD][TD]Character[/TD][TD]Character[/TD][TD]Character[/TD][/TR]
[TR][TD]Held Item[/TD][TD]Flashlight[/TD][TD]Cane[/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][/TR]
[TR][TD]Rope, Knife, Xxx, Xxxx, Xxx, xxx[/TD][TD]Hammer, Parka[/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][TD][/TD][/TR]

For people who are switching from the old tables to new ones, please save yourself much effort.

Old tables looked like this:
[table]thing|thing|thing|thing
Thing|Thing|Thing|Thing[/table]

To quickly convert, copy this, then use the replace feature on | to be replaced with [/TD][TD]. Which makes it look like this:
[table]thing[/TD][TD]thing[/TD][TD]thing[/TD][TD]thing
Thing[/TD][TD]Thing[/TD][TD]Thing[/TD][TD]Thing[/table]

By doing this, you only need to add the first and last tags of each row, and add in the new rows. If you had a particularly large table, the time you save could be considerable.
