vBulletin code for tables

[JimboK]

For those of use that occasionally like to post data in tabular form, is there any way the vBulletin code for tables can be enabled? I know it exists; CleanMPG has it enabled. It's a little cumbersome to use -- here's a sample:

Heading	Column 1	Column 2	Column 3
Row 1	Data 1	Data 2	Data 3
Row 2	Data 4	Data 5	Data 6
Row 3	Data 7	Data 8	Data 9

But it produces a very clean looking table (with boldfacing and underlining added for "Heading"):



I wouldn't mind spending a little extra time to create a table if it helps the reader see the data.

Do you mean like this?

head col1	head col2	head col3
row1 col1	row1 col2	row1 col3
row2 col1	row2 col2	row2 col3

Thanks for making me take the time to look for this addition - it should be very helpful!

Here's some info on how to use it. I haven't had much time to play around with it, so I can't translate this into English right now:

Introduction to options:
example: [table="option1;option2=value;option3='this is a long value with space';option4=value1,value2,value3"]
The whole option list should be wrapped with quotes.
Options are seperated by a semicolon
If an option has a value it is assigned with "equal to" mark. (option2)
If the value contains blanks or special characters it has to be wrapped with apostrophes. (option3)
If an option has more than one value they are seperated by a comma. (option4)

Description of options:
head
This option defines the first line as head, so the first row is shown as head of the table. If the table sould be sorted, the head is not sorted.

sort=1d,2,3
This defines the table to be sorted by column 1, then column 2, then column 3. The "d" after the first colum specifies the order: descending (default: ascending)

autonum=1 (equal to autonum) autonum=a autonum=A
Defines that a new first column containing a numbering should be inserted.
1 -> 1, 2, 3, 4, ... , 999, 1000, ....
a -> a, b, c, ... , aa, ab, ... , zz
A -> A, B, C, ... , AA, BB, ... , ZZ

autonumtitle=oneword autonumtitle='long value with spaces'
Defines the title of the autonum-column. Can be left empty.

width=123px width=45em width=67%
Defines the width of the table.

Woo-hoo! Thanks for the quick action!!!

I've already put it to work.
