Creating article - no way to create a table?

[pibb]

With the new version of XenForo, the max table size with the insert table function is 10x10. You could create a google spreadsheet, take a screenshot of that, and put the screenshot in the article.

Yea that sounds like my only option to do a screenshot plus it would be less work for me.

How will that affect existing articles that have more than 10 columns or rows?

What are you working on?

I just did a quick test, and it appears that the tables still parse, but some bbcode tags may not be used, such as the container tag, so those will appear as plain text, and may need to be removed.

I have done some research comparing the different types of poulty vitamins that are available and what they contain. I made it awhile back and thought I'd share the info. That's why it's so big of a table.

I think I remember seeing the container is thing in the chicken laws articles.

Wow, I look forward to seeing this!

I actually have it in an ".ods" file format now. I use Openoffice and I don't know if Word and Openoffice are really that compatible so that anyone can open the file and it display correctly. I have never used Word.

The information is more than what my screen can show (probably 2-3 screens wide) so it would have to be multiple screenshots merged together. I don't know if that will look good if that happens.

Fair enough. I too use Apache, and I've not had problems with it interfacing with Word. But I don't use the spreadsheet part of it.

Might take me a few days to get something together. I'll have to relook at my information since it now looks like chinese because it is a lot of information to take in.

If I copy the treat chart article into the XF2 editor, and click preview, these are the tags left over.
