I'm having difficulty finding this anywhere else, and wasn't sure where to post the question, but could I pleeeease enlist the help of someone who can explain to me how to make a table in a post? I'm wanting to post some homebrewed class and race ideas, but...yeh. :smalleek:

This really should have gone in Board Issues, but here goes.

{table]1-1 | 1-2 |1-3
2-1 | 2-2 | 2-3
3-1 | 3-2 | 3-3[/table]

gives you

{table]1-1 | 1-2 |1-3
2-1 | 2-2 | 2-3
3-1 | 3-2 | 3-3[/table]

Darn, I was looking forward to showing off my carpentry skills.

Darn, I was looking forward to showing off my carpentry skills.

That was my first thought too.
"1. Get planks to make a tabletop.
2. get sticks to serve as legs.
3. Attach the two parts to each other (preferrably with the sticks in a corner each and on the same side of the tabletop)"

I actually have some really nice table plans that I'm going to have to try out sometime. Have to get around to picking up some more clamps though.

There are also a number of special options you can use with the table. Unfortunately, none are actually listed in the vBulletin board FAQ (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/misc.php?do=bbcode#table).

Note that line breaks in tables require the [br] tag, which has a bug that replaces the square brackets with HTML angle brackets when you reply to or edit a post that uses it. As such, you may have to fix such tags later on.

Oh! I also thought this was about making an actual table-type-table. I'm not sure why I came into this thread, since I have no idea how to do that.

Turns out, it's actually about making a table using forum code. And...I actually have no idea how to do that either, but it looks like you've been given instructions.

Glad I could help?

Thanks for the step-by-step helpful instructions Rutsy. I dunno what I would've done without you :smallbiggrin:.

Since I hate noparse tags, Sans all periods.

To elaborate on what Jack_Squat said, if you want a heading on this table:

{table]1-1 | 1-2 |1-3
2-1 | 2-2 | 2-3
3-1 | 3-2 | 3-3[/table]

Make the opening tag [.table=head] 1st number | 2nd number
1-1 | 1-2 |1-3
2-1 | 2-2 | 2-3
3-1 | 3-2 | 3-3[./table]

Should look like this:

{table=head] 1st number | 2nd number
1-1 | 1-2 |1-3
2-1 | 2-2 | 2-3
3-1 | 3-2 | 3-3[/table]

Thanks everyone! I will attempt to practice here...

{table="head"]BaB | Fort | Ref | Will
+0 | +2 | +0 | +2
+1 | +3 | +0 | +3[/table]

Yay, it worked! :smallbiggrin: Thanks again!

3-1 | 3-2 | 3-3[/table]

Of course, if you do it that way, you've got a lot of wasted data :smallwink:

If you're wanting a class table, this (http://pifro.com/dnd/NEW/) is very useful, it basically takes all of the work out of doing it by hand.
