Table

This page contains information on how to create and edit tables.

This extension supports grid tables.

• Lines are separated by +----+----+. (The header section is +====+====+)

• Columns are separated by |.

• Characters in a cell must have at least one space between them so that they are not adjacent to the | symbol in the column.

Creating a table

There are two ways to create a table.

Converts a comma-separated string to a table.

See CSV to Table Conversion for detailed usage.

Specify [Rows]x[Columns]

In the editor, typing [Rows]x[Columns] will give you suggestions for input assistance.

Trigger Character
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0

• When the trigger character is entered, the form of the string immediately before it must be [Rows]x[Columns].

  • Examples: 4x9, 10x20, etc.

• Header lines are not included in [Rows].

  • Selecting the (Table with header) entry will insert an additional row for the header.

When you select one of the input aid candidates, an empty table will be created.

Warning

• Currently, tables with merged cells are not supported (but can be built).

• If the Enter or Tab key is pressed while the cursor is in a table, all cells will be reformatted to a split state.

• If you want to edit a table with joined cells…

  1. With all cells split, edit the contents of the cells (leave the part to be merged blank)

  2. Manually merge cells after you are done editing

  3. When you have finished editing the cell join, bring the cursor outside the table

     • Do not press the Enter or Tab keys at this time.
