Hello everyone, I am going to share with you another guide on forums tricks and tips to make your posting or guide-making experience more efficient. My previous guide on image links can be located here: european-war-4.boards.net/thread/11937/guide-on-creating-image-linksOn this forum, I have noticed that the built-in table creating option does not really work, and can be troublesome to use. Here, this set of BBcodes make life much easier. The highlighted words are where you should insert square brackets like this: [...] tabletrtd table cell 1 /tdtd table cell 2 /td/tr
trtd table cell 3 /tdtd table cell 4 /td/tr/table
Example: | table cell 1 | table cell 2 | | table cell 3 | table cell 4 |
Note that the above only gives you a 2x2 table. The /tr and tr in between two table cells are basically the code to move on to the next row of table cells. This allows you to format the table according to your needs. After your formatted table is ready, just click on BBCode next to Preview, then click back to Preview again to start editing the individual cells. You may still add in fonts, text colors, bold etc. in your text in the cells. Additionally, the code only allows you a transparent background and border. Well, borders can be added like this: td style="border: 1px solid #ff0000; padding: 3px;" table cell 1 /td
Note that the above code should be inserted after tr in the original, and every cell should have this border code before it to achieve the desired effect. Example: | now you | are able | | to see | the borders |
I'll create an advanced guide soon, but for now this would suffice to create the basic tables you may need, in place of the seemingly faulty in-built option. |

As I expect, html tricks can also work here. lets try: Td 1 ex.cell td 2 kay no color is ok for me. try one is failed, wait? I didnt add the table at start. trivia: td stands for table data while tr stands to table row. also, th stands for table header. I wonder if we can use td colspan and td rowspan? |

Personally I have no clue about coding, before arriving on this forum my only experience was with tweaking inspect element for pranks and unblurring online paid study guides...  After two years, I've learnt a thing or two whilst formatting libraries/guides in BBCode. |

Oh ok, i’ll gotta try out colspan and rowspan later. Table in html: | cell header |
|---|
| cell 1 | cell 2 | | cell 3 | extra cell |
guess colspan and rowspan doesn’t work. But th code does work, see that bold font there, its table header. |

Moved it here although almost obsolete
I only have the mobile version - so I have to write BBCoding - it is practical HTML with [ brackets ] instead of < brackets >. You can use inline-styles to format your text or tables with css ExampleI strongly recommend to use relative links!
Your link /thread/12188/guide-on-creating-tables shows directly that you will stay on the Site. If we change domain or protocol (like the 'new' https:) links remain intact.
OK the board can't auto hotlink relative addresses - my note is only relevant if you make 'Links by hand'

If you use a personal computer ... No - Not your mobile! - although this is the Real Personal Comuter... so with a "computer" it will be easier to use an WYSIWYG-HTML - editor.
- Create your board in the HTML-Editor
- Copy the source code of the table to an Text-Editor and replace 1. < with [, 2. > with ]
- copy the changed code of the formatted table into the board.
Note: be aware that the Html-editor is creating Inline styles (no style sheet)
I sadly have to code by hand...

Many times it is not necessary to fuzz around with tables - if you want to present a list you can use the powerfull list tags! The board supports only [ul] ( Unordered List) - who cares we have css - I will explain a few basics: A list is defined within the BBCode [ul]...[/ul]Every List Item is included by the BBCode [li] ... [/li]Example: [ul style="list-style:decimal; padding-left:30px;"]
[li]Winner[/li]
[li]Looser[/li]
[li]Who was it?[/li]
[ul]
