One of the options when posting a new topic is "Table=" but I can't figure out how to use it. Can someone explain how to use this option to produce a table containing a specified number of rows and columns? Alternatively, can someone point me to an explanation of how all of the options?

Oh, searched the forums for the wrong thing (no wonder I didn't find it
). Thanks for the reply. Looks like tables are single column only at this point. Correct me if I'm wrong.

That is my understanding. One of the replies (from Hagar?) suggests using Code tags and tabs or spaces to build a pseudo table. I would suggest this is possibly the quickest way to pose a table-related question; it could be accompanied by a screenshot of a mocked up table or an incorrect table, to better illustrate a point.

Saving (from Calc) as "Text (CSV)", choosing the "fixed width" option and wrapping the pasted output inside
Code: Select all
or [pre]tags is passable for simple data:
[size=85][pre]Area sq.ft Setting Applied (lRate (lb/ksNotes
A 150 27 2 13.3 Fill spread
C 150 28 2 13.3
E 150 28 2 13.3
B 150 29 5 33.3 Rate wrong:
D 150 29 – –
E 150 29 3 20.0
F 150 30 3.5 23.3
G 150 32 5 33.3[/pre][/size]

Thanks acknak, time to switch rather than fight.
