    I know BobWilson has cracked the code needed to include well formatted tables in a post, but I am hoping for a method that is simple and most important, open to collaboration.

    Any chance I can embed a Google spreadsheet as a table ?

    To prevent encoding, I've substituted ">" for "]" and "<" for "[":
    • <table=head> - this tag starts a table and uses the first row as headers for columns.
    • "," or "|" - separate the columns, I hate "," since that means we can not post 9,999.
    • Each line is a new data row
    • left justified, default font - there is no global function so each cell has to be individually formatted if something other than the default is needed
    • </table> - ends the table
    To post a table, I typically create them in excel and then use the "concatenate()" function to create the table text needed.
