New Table Option

[Jeff Lebowski]

After a suggestion from LostStudent and a link provided by Pelagius, I have added a custom BB code for tables. You will notice a new table icon in the advanced editor. There are instructions on using the table option here:

This is how you would structure a simple table:

[table="head"]head col1|head col2|head col3
row1 col1|row1 col2|row1 col3
row2 col1|row2 col2|row2 col3[/table]

This code results in the following table:

I have written a VB macro for an Excel spreadsheet that allows you to set up your table in Excel and then click a button to copy the table to the clipboard for pasting into into a message. You can download the spreadsheet here:

It is in Excel 2007 format. In order to use the spreadsheet, you will need to enable VB macros in Excel. To enable macros:

1) Click on the Office button and select Excel Options.
2) Click on Trust Center in the options on the left.
3) Click on the Trust Center Settings button.
4) Click on the Macro Settings option.
5) Select one of the following two options:
---Disable all macros with notification <-- With this option you can choose to enable macros whenever you open the spreadsheet
---Enable all macros <--- Simplest method. The spreadsheet will work whenever you open it.
6) Click OK twice and open the spreadsheet.

In the fourth grade when I was learning multiplication I thought it would be cool to have a round table with a clock painted on it, then you could call it a times table.

[ table="head"]head col1|head col2|head col3
row1 col1|row1 col2|row1 col3
row2 col1|row2 col2|row2 col3[/table]

except that you would remove the space between the first "[" and "table" (I can't figure out how to show the text without getting it to parse to a table).

Thanks!

Use [noparse] (stuff) [/noparse]

[noparse][table="head"]head col1|head col2|head col3
row1 col1|row1 col2|row1 col3
row2 col1|row2 col2|row2 col3[/table][/noparse]

results in:

[table="head"]head col1|head col2|head col3
row1 col1|row1 col2|row1 col3
row2 col1|row2 col2|row2 col3[/table]

Thanks. I fixed it.

Now what I need to do is write script for Excel that will let you select a table in a spreadsheet and copy it to the clipboard in the format shown above. That would be pretty easy, actually.

That's a horrible idea!

That is funny. Who knew demons needed to do anything to stay in shape?

What I thought was really impressive is that they apparently have personal trainers. Perhaps Srewtape is moonlighting.
