Decided to create the correct HTML format for a table because it’s not clearly written how in the syntax guide:
<table> 

<tr>
<th>Header</th> 
<th>it's</th> 
<th>in the</th>
<th>middle</th>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>1</td> 
<td>2</td> 
<td>3</td>
<td>4</td> 
</tr>

<add the line of code below many times to add more rows.>

<tr>
<td>cell</td> 
<td>cell</td> 
<td>cell</td>
<td>cell</td>
</tr>

</table>
Header it’s in the middle

1 2 3 4

cell cell cell cell

that is a good outline and i was using it that same kind of posting for a while too. only it has the annoying issues of not allowing your easy formatting so you have to do everything through tags. also you have to type so much stuff copy and paste is definitely your friend with that.

actually what i found to work best? is this…

CELL1	CELL2	CELL3
1	2	3
A	B	C

|CELL1|CELL2|CELL3|
| :---: | :---: | :---: |
|1|2|3|
|A|B|C|

this is a header block. it takes what is in the “CELL1-3” blocks and creates the line separator for the header. also note the : in the second line. these are alignment notations. :--- left, :---: center, ---: right

|CELL1|CELL2|CELL3|
| :---: | :---: | :---: |

these are just normal data cells which are aligned onto each of the header columns.

|1|2|3|
|A|B|C|

examples:

CELL1	CELL2	CELL3
	Numbers
1	2	3
4	5	6
	Letters
A	B	C
D	E	F

|CELL1|CELL2|CELL3|
| :---: | :---: | :---: |
||**Numbers**||
|1|2|3|
|_4_|_5_|_6_|
||**Letters**||
|A|B|C|
|_D_|_E_|_F_|

vs

CELL1	CELL2	CELL3
	Numbers
1	2	3
_4_	_5_	_6_
	Letters
A	B	C
D	E	F

<table>
<th>CELL1</th><th>CELL2</th><th>CELL3</th>
<tr><td></td><td>**Numbers**</td><td></td></tr>
<tr><td><div align="center">1</td><td><div align="center">2</td><td><div align="center">3</td></tr></div></div></div>
<tr><td><div align="center">_4_</td><td><div align="center">_5_</td><td><div align="center">_6_</td></tr></div></div></div>

<tr><td></td><td><div align="center"><strong>Letters</strong></td><td></td></tr></div>
<tr><td><div align="center">A</td><td><div align="center">B</td><td><div align="center">C</td></tr></div></div></div>
<tr><td><i><div align="center">D</i></td><td><i><div align="center">E</i></td><td><i><div align="center">F</td></i></tr></div></div></div>
</table>

this is just showing that you “can” do the same things…but its extremely annoying to do it. you have to type out all the tags everywhere. since your little formatting buttons will not help you in this case.

edit:
changed table examples to include centering the text inside the cells. i believe it looks nicer that way in the tables and it only adds a few colons to the one table. for the tag based table it added a bunch of extra work though
