Table making using BBC?

I just found out that we can actually construct tables using BBCode in ZetaBoards?

I just know [TABLE][/TABLE]. Can anyone tell me the other codes that help to construct a nice table?

It's fairly complicating, if you ask me. It's very easy to lose track of what you've written and which column each bit of writing is in.

Anyway, as you know it's [table][/table], but you don't know much else. Once you get the grasp of it, it's easy to remember.

Now, [table]Some content[/table] would return this;

Some content


To add a title to the table, you first have to define how many columns you want, so we'll tackle adding x columns first. If you wanted 3 columns, you would do the following; [table=3]Content[c]Content[c]Content[/table]. The "3" after "table" tells the ZetaBoards BBCode parser how many columns you want, and the [c] bit tell's it when to go to the next column/row. I'm sure that you will want to add more than one row of data, so to add a new row, then you just add another [c], and 3 more columns will appear.

For example, [table=3]Content[c]Content[c]Content[c]New Row[c]New Row[c]New Row[/table] would return the following;

ContentContentContent
New RowNew RowNew Row


Adding a header is possibly the most simple bit of the table itself, just add a comma and then the title of the table. [table=3,This is a table's title]Content[c]Content[c]Content[c]New Row[c]New Row[c]New Row[/table] would bring up something along the lines of:

This is a table's title
ContentContentContent
New RowNew RowNew Row


And then, to change the first row to a set of "subtitles", just add ,1 after the title of the table, like so: [table=3,This is a table's title,1]Subtitle[c]Subtitle[c]Subtitle[c]Content[c]Content[c]Content[c]New Row[c]New Row[c]New Row[/table]

The above piece of code would make the table like this;

This is a table's title
SubtitleSubtitleSubtitle
ContentContentContent
New RowNew RowNew Row


I hope that helped and that I didn't confuse you at all; I know that tables can be confusing and I can often make things confusing.

No problem. It can be a very confusing BBCode. Just keep using the Preview button and you shouldn't have any trouble.
