Any guides on how to make tables here?

I looked at the FAQ and have tried a BBCode table auto-generator, but the generator uses some kind of wacky crazy language that the forum doesn't understand (it uses [td] and [tr] and things). Since I have no idea what I'm doing and am fumbling blindly along, some pointers would be much appreciated.

Okay, well, I'll see if I can show you an example:


Level	Stats	Fashion	Specialness
1	4	+1	Cockney Accent
2	10	+3	Sharpest Sword
3	25	+6	Lovely Beard

would be made by:

(table)
(mrow)Level(mcol)Stats(row)Fashion(row)Specialness
(row)1(col)4(col)+1(col)Cockney Accent
(row)2(col)10(col)+3(col)Sharpest Sword
(row)3(col)25(col)+6(col)Lovely Beard
(/table)

Replacing () with [] of course. So you need (Table)(/Table) to surround it.

Rows must start with (row) or (mrow) - note that you don't go (row)(col)data, it's (row)data. (mrow) simply Bolds it.

If it isn't the new row, it's (col) or, if you want to Bold it, (mcol).

There must be the same number of columns on each row, or else it gets a bit fucked up.

Did that help at all?

Yes, thank you. That is, unfortunately, a gigantic pain in the ass, and it will interfere greatly with the project I am working on. Oh, well, it will (perhaps) be worth it.

EDIT: This isn't so difficult after all.

I copypasted Koumei's code a while ago, popped in my variables, made a template, most recently used in my Class Compression shit.
(and posting too late. It's been a wild 3 days of Christmas shopping, drinking, and my birthday, and not over yet)

Thanks to her efforts a long time ago... we don't have to even think about it.

Code: Select all

&#91;b&#93;&#91;/b&#93;

&#91;table&#93;
&#91;mrow&#93;Level&#91;mcol&#93;Abilities
&#91;row&#93;1&#91;col&#93;
&#91;row&#93;2&#91;col&#93;
&#91;row&#93;3&#91;col&#93;
&#91;row&#93;4&#91;col&#93;
&#91;row&#93;5&#91;col&#93;
&#91;row&#93;6&#91;col&#93;
&#91;row&#93;7&#91;col&#93;
&#91;row&#93;8&#91;col&#93;
&#91;row&#93;9&#91;col&#93;
&#91;row&#93;10&#91;col&#93;
&#91;/table&#93;

Using Excel helps a lot. Just put the right the right tags into every other column and fill the rest with content, after copypasting it will be formatted alright.
