Course.Cafe provides several approaches for including tables in content. That said, it may be a challenge to get the formatting just right. So you might have to tweak and experiment to get things to appear more desirable.
Editing toolbar table creation tool
There is a table creation tool in the text editing tools toolbar. If that tool is insufficient, you can enter HTML and CSS in using the Edit tab. Below is an example of a table created by the Table tool.
| Type | Variety | Color |
| Fruit | Banana | Yellow |
| Vegetable | Eggplant | Purple |
Table short code
You can also use [[table]…[/table]] short codes, with values in between, e.g.
[[table]
Year,Make,Model,Length
1997,Ford,E350,2.34
2000,Mercury,Cougar,2.38
[/table]]
which will produce a table such as:
[table]
Year,Make,Model,Length
1997,Ford,E350,2.34
2000,Mercury,Cougar,2.38
[/table]
Creating a table with HTML and CSS
You can enter the Text mode and use HTML and CSS to manually create a table. An example of an HTML and CSS table is:
| Year | Make | Model | Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1997 | Ford | E350 | 2.34 |
| 2000 | Mercury | Cougar | 2.38 |
