Tables and Lists
You can hand-enter tables or you can paste in tables directly from a tab-delimited spreadsheet (such as Microsoft Excel). See the "Pasting Tables" instructions if you are pasting a table directly from Excel.
Tag Description
<table border=1><tr><td>Table Items</td></tr></table> Creates a table of the Table Items (table HAS a border)
<table><tr><td>Table Items</td></tr></table> Creates a table of the Table Items (table has NO border)
<ul>[*]List Items[/list] Creates a bulleted list of the List Items
- List Items
Creates an ordered (numbered list of the List Items)
Table Items and List Items
The Table Items are divided into columns by commas and into rows by newline characters (carriage returns). Thus, the entry <table border=1><tr><td>1</TD><TD>2</TD><TD>3</td></tr></table> would create a table with three columns (with entries "1", "2", and "3").
The List Items are separated by newline characters (carriage returns). Each List Item is given a bullet.
See the examples for further explanation.
Pasting Tables
You can paste in tables from tab-delimited spreadsheets such as Microsoft Excel. To paste a table, do the following:
Open your spreadsheet using Excel.
Select the range that you wish to paste as a table using Excel.
Choose Edit and then Copy.
Bring up your WWW browser.
Enter an "empty" table tag (such as <table border=1><tr><td> </td></tr></table> or <table><tr><td> </td></tr></table>) in your message. Do not put in any Table Items at this time.
Click the mouse between the curly braces in that tag.
Select Edit and then Paste.
