BB codes - tables

[Trifletraxor]

For those who didn't know it allready:

Tables: Tables can be made with the BB Code [noparse][table][/table][/noparse], . Use the | mark to separate columns, and lineshift to separate rows.

This piece of code for example:

[noparse][table]weapon|SR|damage|base%|AP

broadsword|2|1d8+1|10%|10

knife|3|1d3+1|15%|4[/table][/noparse]

...will create this table:

[table]weapon|SR|damage|base%|AP

broadsword|2|1d8+1|10%|10

knife|3|1d3+1|15%|4[/table]

Options for the table can be added to the first piece of the table code:

[table=width=100%] will create a table with a width of 100% (however, due to a bug in the table code, tables with a set width % with must be edited in the advanced edit mode to stay at that width).

[table=head] will make the first row into a head for the table.

[table=autonum=1] will add a first column containing numbers.

Several table options may be combined within the apostrophes, separated by semicolons: [table=width=100%;head;autonum=1], which would have the following effect on the table above:

[table=width=100%;head;autonum=1]weapon|SR|damage|base%|AP

broadsword|2|1d8+1|10%|10

knife|3|1d3+1|15%|4[/table]

(Disabling BB Code: Encasing the codes in [noparse][noparse][/noparse][/noparse] will allow you to show the BB Codes without setting off their effects.)

Thanks,

Very useful.

This post is however likely to get lost and buried before long. Maybe a subforum on board help and tips like this where things like this and the dice roller can be stickied so they can be found easily would be in order?

[table=head]

Character|SR |Current Action

Rurik| 3 |Screwin around with tables

Trollkin| 4 |Screwin around with Rurik

[/Table]

Doh. Did something wrong. I had more columns than that.

[table=head]Character|SR |Current Action

Rurik| 3 |Screwin around with tables

Trollkin| 4 |Screwin around with Rurik[/Table]

OK. Figured it out. In the first one I put the table header and footer on their own lines, like this:

[noparse]

[table=head]

Character|SR |Current Action

Rurik| 3 |Screwin around with tables

Trollkin| 4 |Screwin around with Rurik

[/Table]

BB doesn't like that. In the second (good table) I put the columns on the same line as the table tag:

[table=head]Character|SR |Current Action

Rurik| 3 |Screwin around with tables

Trollkin| 4 |Screwin around with Rurik[/Table]

[/noparse]

There, and I even got to use [noparse][noparse][/noparse][/noparse]. Do I get extra credit?

Yes, an "IOwnU" note from the trollkin.
