Solved Is there a way to get a template for articles in the chicken laws section?

[Celticdragonfly]

So I saw articles like this

https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/pasadena-texas-chicken-laws-ordinances.66696/

https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/dallas-texas-chicken-ordinance.61643/

and others - that seem to be set up on a template. I am going to add an article with the chicken laws for my town, that went legal a bit over a year ago - is there a way to get that template?

It was created using bb code, which I am not very good at explaining. Maybe @CarpCharacin can explain it. If you want something with more columns or rows let me know and I will make one for you.

The template looks good! You might want to post it in [ code ] tags though, as I'm not sure if tables can be copied and pasted.

Here is the code:

[TABLE][TR][TD]1[/TD][TD]2[/TD][/TR][TR][TD]3[/TD][TD]4[/TD][/TR][TR][TD]5[/TD][TD]6[/TD][/TR][TR][TD]7[/TD][TD]8[/TD][/TR][TR][TD]9[/TD][TD]10[/TD][/TR][TR][TD]11[/TD][TD]12[/TD][/TR][TR][TD]13[/TD][TD]14[/TD][/TR][TR][TD]15[/TD][TD]16[/TD][/TR][TR][TD]17[/TD][TD]18[/TD][/TR][/TABLE]

Which will produce this table:

1	2
3	4
5	6
7	8
9	10
11	12
13	14
15	16
17	18

Table bbcodes are listed in the help section: https://www.backyardchickens.com/help/bb-codes

I don't know how to do the code thing.

I don't know how to do the code thing.

It's just a bbcode that shows the text in a "code" box and prevents bbcode in the code tags from parsing. The tags are [ code ] [/ code ] without the spaces.

With XF2, the rich text editor supports tables, so it will be easier to insert tables after we upgrade.

I am looking forward to that feature!
