How to create a table
In a recent thread I tried to create a table:
10: 1.291303564 20: 1.291290482 50: 1.291286729 100: 1.291286183 200: 1.291286042 500: 1.291286006 1000: 1.291285997 For this I used the Unicode character NO-BREAK SPACE U+00A0. Is there a simpler way to create a table? Even in a code-block multiple spaces are sometimes ignored: Code:
Maybe there's a plug-in for tables? |

10: & \underline{1.291}303564 \\ 20: & \underline{1.2912}90482 \\ 50: & \underline{1.29128}6729 \\ 100: & \underline{1.29128}6183 \\ 200: & \underline{1.29128}6042 \\ 500: & \underline{1.29128}6006 \\ 1000: & \underline{1.291285997} \end{matrix}\] Ceci n'est pas une signature. |

RE: How to create a table
PHP Code: Strange Odd... The PHP blocks get the formatting right, except for the first line, though the PHP syntax coding might bother you. Then again, maybe it won't be that big of a deal for what you are posting. You might give that a try. I think it will be easy to remove the PHP colors. I'll see if anything can be done to help out the standard code blocks as well. It will be a few days before I can do anything significant. Holiday visits to relatives and ice storms, power outages and staying in homes of strangers has put me well-behind on everything. |

RE: How to create a table
You can also use a begin{align} / end{align} block in LaTex when you have an even number of columns. For example:
\( \begin{align} 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\ left & right & left & right \\ 1 & 1 & 3 & 9 \\ 2 & 4 & 4 & 16 \\ not & every & row & has \\ to & use & all & columns \\ 3rd & row \\ & & 4th & row \end{align}\) I think this looks better than using a matrix. Here's the original example: \(\begin{align} 10: & \underline{1.291}303564 \\ 20: & \underline{1.2912}90482 \\ 50: & \underline{1.29128}6729 \\ 100: & \underline{1.29128}6183 \\ 200: & \underline{1.29128}6042 \\ 500: & \underline{1.29128}6006 \\ 1000: & \underline{1.291285997} \end{align}\) -katie |

RE: How to create a table
I've made adjustments to the code block code so these should all line up now:
Code: 1.0 OK - that looks good. |

Displaying a table of information
Quote:This example shows how you can get a table rendered via bbcode using the [table], [tr], [td] and [th] tags.

RE: How to create a table
While I probably could add HTML-like tables like Thomas suggested, I was a little leery of doing this since people seem to mess up with them a lot. I also prefer not to mess with the base code too much since things may have to be reintegrated into future updates. And I thought that people were happy with the latex way of doing it. But if there are problems with the latex solution, I could look into this again.

After all, why should a third-party like mathjax.org be able to track visitors of this forum and collect data about them? Doesn't MyBB provide menus to define Custom BBCodes from the admin console? While this would not be as flexible as what would be possible with PHP, at least in IPB it's powerful enough for tables, and defined this way, they should survive software upgrades as well.
