Posting - Putting tables in posts
Fellow (Super) moderators,
I placed a request in the thread:
http://elsmar.com//Forums/showthread.php?t=7870
Posting #7 sometime back asking for help to align the ANOVA Table.
I posted that table from a Minitab Help file.
Can anyone help?
How to post Tables on to body of the mesage? Can we post an Excel Table on to the body directly?If any one like me posted a table with misaligned values how to edit as a Moderator and fix it?
Thanks,
Govind.
Note: If you find this posting more appropriate in the forum help topic, feel free to move it.

Most of the forums have HTML input disabled because of security issues. A few old forums still have it turned on (which is a really bad idea which worries me to some degree) because there was a lot of html in the 'old' forums posts which were imported from UltimateBB a few years back.
As I remember, tables did not work well anyway. There are some things you can do with 'BB Code' (see http://Elsmar.com/Forums/misc.php?do=bbcode ) but tables aren't one of them.
The easiest thing to do would be to paste data in an Excel page and upload that page as an attachment. Or if you have a convenient screen capture utility make a graphic and attach that.

As far as a table showing in the actual post, the only way really is to 'format' a text chart in ascii with mono-spaced fonts and then use the BB Code for 'Code' (which forces mono-space output).
For example:
Code:
This is an example of mono-spaced output. If I put in 5 spaces, you should see 5 spaces.
If I want to start a new line I have to do it with the 'Return' key. If you do not a line will keep trailing out as you can see here.

In the body? Ok, it can be done, but the only way I can think of is to create a table in HTML: <BODY>
<TABLE>
<TABLE BORDER>
<TR><TD>one</TD><TD>two</TD></TR>
<TR><TD>A</TD><TD>B</TD></TR>
<TR><TD>C</TD><TD>D</TD></TR>
<TR><TD>E</TD><TD>F</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
The table above is the result from the following code:
HTML Code:
<BODY>
<TABLE>
<TABLE BORDER>
<TR><TD>one</TD><TD>two</TD></TR>
<TR><TD>A</TD><TD>B</TD></TR>
<TR><TD>C</TD><TD>D</TD></TR>
<TR><TD>E</TD><TD>F</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>

Yes, but most of the forums have HTML parsing turned off as I mentioned above. In this forum HTML parcing is turned on so it will work.
The deal is, most forum software is set up with HTML parcing turned off these days because of the potential for someone who understands how the forum software works to potentially put in some code which would make server calls.
As I said, in some forums I still have it turned on - I'll have to take a look - but I never set up a new forum with HTML turned on just to minimize exposure. No forum has html turned on any more.
This is one of those things that I'm not convinced poses a problem but if you talk with security folks they shudder at the thought.

That I can imagine  , and yes, I seem to recall you have left it on in some forums. Not sure though...

You can tell when you're in a forum by looking close to the very bottom of the page. It says something like Posting Rules (I may change it to read Posting Options) and lists what is turned on and what is turned off.
I honestly don't remember which forums it is turned on in off hand myself. I do remember at the switchover in software I turned it off in all forums but in several main forums there was already so much HTML code there - mostly for formatting as I remember - that I left it turned on. I may, in the near future, turn it off in those forums as well.
