How to make tables

[Saga]

Hello peoplez! (:

 

I decided to make a tutorial how to make a table since... well, it's cool and useful,duh. ;D

 

Before anything, keep in mind a few things:

-> In case you want to learn the code, you can see it when you switch to regular view, when creating a thread. (I will show you with pictures what I meant.)

-> Make difference between ROW and COLUMN. (:

-> You can always edit your table

 

{. ROW

 

 

{. COLUMN

 

So, we open a tab and we are ready to create a new thread with a table inserted.

What you do first is to click on 'Switch Editor'.

 

Well, excuse my in-hurry handwriting XD. Anyhow, this way when you switched to it and you will see all you customize. That means, if you color your text in blue, it will show your text being in blue - not with tags/codes. If you press it a second time, you will go back to the other mode where you will see the tags. Like the tag for color TEXT HERE[ /COLOR]. To go back,click on the button again XD

The reason I use that mode when I create tables is because the tags(codes) are so damn long when I make,per say five rows with five columns. Gives me headache to follow each tag especially when I do a lot of font customization.

 

So, what you press to start creating the table is that button.

 

When you press on it a box will appear. There, you have a few customizable features. Let's take the first three.

1. Shows the count of rows

2. Shows the count of columns

3. The width of your table (I usually don't change it)

 

 

 

So, when done with the these settings, you have two more features.

4. Table Style has three options:

-> No Borders, which means literally your table without borders

-> Outer Border, which means only part of your table will have border (the outer part)

-> Full Grid, which means outer/inner borders

I like the last options. So I will set it to it.

5. Alignment has three options

-> Left, which means your table on the left

-> Center, which means your table centered

-> Right, which means your table on the right

I use the centered,so will click on it now.

 

 

 

When done, press 'OK'.

And voila, you have your table.

 

 

 

That is basically.

In case you want to edit your table, you have a few buttons to play with.

I will explain each button.

 

* Table Properties

You can edit only the last three features. When you press on it a new box will appear for you to edit your table properties.

 

 

 

* Delete Table

Well, this one doesn't need an explanation, Macarena U_U; If you by chance...press it (like I did once, but never mind that *coughs), you can press the button for 'go back' D;

I will show now the buttons.

 

 

 

The last few buttons are either adding row/column or deleting them

Per say, 'insert a row before'/'insert a row after',

the difference is that if you follow some order but forgot about some row, instead of deleting stuff you can insert a row before/after.

Same goes for columns. (:

To see the buttons' being named, keep your cursor on the button for a few seconds, it will show you

the button's purpose. XD

 

 

 

That was all folks,

hope I helped in a way!

 

* Best regards,

Saga

It worked, you just didn't select a Table style. You chose the table to be without borders. Just select from the drop down to have either Outer Border, or Full Grid (number 4 in the image, as Saga explained in the guide above).
