Table tag

[Staffan]

Just wondering if it would be possible to add a table tag to the vB code used on the forums. Given that people often post classes and other things that are presented in table formats, I think that would be neat.

You are able to use the [code] [/code] tags to create fixed-width text, and align the text to make a table. Also, since html is enabled on the forums, you can use the <table> </table> tags as well.

Yeah, but they both wreak havoc with colors, and the table tag creates a weird bit of extra space above the table. I made another thread about how the code tag should work (assuming it's possible to change it, and I think it is).

If you write your < table > as only one row of code without new lines the board will process them just fine.

That is, write

< table >
< tr >
< td > Hello table! < /td >
< /tr >
< /table >

as

< table >< tr >< td > Hello table! < /td >< /tr >< /table >

A test!

<table><tr><td>Hello World!</td></tr></table>
And table two...
<table>
<tr>
<td>Hello World!</td>
</tr>
</table>
*edit* cool, now I can make tables that don't look stupid! Hmm, need an excuse for a table now...

Ah, interesting. Though a bit weird and annoying, but still interesting. Now all one needs to make good-looking tables is to change the overall text color of the page to the same pale yellow that's specified in various text types
