How to use TABLES to create columns of text or lay out posts.

Hi Everyone,
A couple of people have asked me how I put some text into four columns on the
Timaeus on Atlantis thread
.
I used tables, and that is actually how websites were laid out in the '90s before Cascading Style Sheets took hold.
With tables you can arrange photos and blocks of text side by side as I did in the
Sphinx thread here.
So how is it all done?
The button to create a table is this one:
the code is [table ] [/table ]
The next button is to create a row:
the code is [tr ] [/tr ] You will need this for every row you want.
The final button is to create columns:
the code is [td ] [/td ] You will need this in every row for as many columns as you are going to use.
I found it was much faster for me to set up my first couple of rows and then copy and paste the code for the rest of them.
Here is an example of what your code will look like:
It will look like this in your post:
Now, if you want to clean it up a little bit, you can center the text within the columns, as well as underline your header row, etc. All code for that needs to be inside of the columns tags, like this:
And it will appear as this in your post:
you can also put spacer columns in between your columns with information in them... it will center things better if you're centering each column. Just put an extra [td ] [/td ] in between your columns and leave several spaces in there and just copy and paste it in each row.
I had to push some text back for my Sphinx post by creating a different kind of spacer -a long, white understrike which is still visible but scarcely so:
Code:
[color=white]________________________________________[/color]
Now the latest addendum to all of this is:
You can no longer use the code:
Code:
[b] [/b]
at the very beginning/end when creating a table. You now have to use that code every time you want something on a particular line in bold.
You also no longer have to use the code:
Code:
[table][/table]
at the beginning/end.
Example:
Test
Column 1
Column 2
Test 1
abcdefg
12345
Test 2
hijklmnop
67890
Test 3
qrstuvwxyz
12345
The code for the above table is:
Code:
[tr][td][u][b]Test[/b][/u][/td][td][u][b]Column 1[/b][/u][/td][td][u][b]Column 2[/b][/u][/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Test 1 [/td][td]abcdefg[/td][td]12345[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Test 2[/td][td]hijklmnop[/td][td]67890[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Test 3[/td][td]qrstuvwxyz [/td][td]12345[/td][/tr]
Hope this is helpful!

No prob, and it's easier than it looks -especially after you make your first one. All we are doing is clicking the table buttons and pasting our content in between the tags -just like with images.
