Tables

[Talkkno]

How do I make a tables on this forum?

[Strawberries]

The code

{table]line1|line1a
line2|line2a[/table]

will give you:

{table]line1|line1a
line2|line2a[/table]

Basically you use the key "|" to divide coloumns and enter to divide line, all inside the "table" tags.

Also

{table=head]Head1|Head2
line1|line1a
line2|line2a[/table]

gives you

{table=head]Head1|Head2
line1|line1a
line2|line2a[/table]

and allows you to put headers to tables.

Here's another thread (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=8483419#post8483419) with useful VB code information.

There is, of course, the universal answer to the question of "How do I do x with the code that I saw someone else do," which is "Quote the post where you saw it and see how it was done." :smallwink:

I can guarantee this isn't always possible.

For example.

If a rogue can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital spot for extra damage.

The rogue’s attack deals extra damage any time her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the rogue flanks her target. This extra damage is 1d6 at 1st level, and it increases by 1d6 every two rogue levels thereafter. Should the rogue score a critical hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not multiplied.

Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet.

With a sap (blackjack) or an unarmed strike, a rogue can make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. She cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack, not even with the usual -4 penalty.

A rogue can sneak attack only living creatures with discernible anatomies—undead, constructs, oozes, plants, and incorporeal creatures lack vital areas to attack. Any creature that is immune to critical hits is not vulnerable to sneak attacks. The rogue must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. A rogue cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment or striking the limbs of a creature whose vitals are beyond reach.

For example.He's not talking about using the table. He's talking about quoting someone else's table and getting the code from there.

What do the sneak attack rules have to do with vB code? :smallconfused:

You can't quote to find out how quotes work.

...Which shouldn't be much of an issue, if you're quoting already.

It's a quote faked to look like a regular linked quote, but that links off-site. You can't quote to see the code inside a quote.

[Serpentine]

Then you find a post with a table in it that isn't quoted, and you quote that to get its code. Not that hard :smallconfused:
The suggestion wasn't "If you want to find out how a very specific individual table and all its content was made, quote that post" it was "if you want to know how to do any table, find a post with a table and quote it."

[Renegade Paladin]

And yes, you can quote to find out how quote tags work - quote tags will be around what you quoted even if the quote tags in the original post aren't. :smalltongue:

Quote tags that link to posts on these forums, yes, but the example quote in question links to something offsite. The code for the two cases is different, and using the quote button will only get you the former.

Thank you, this was my point.

[AsteriskAmp]

How do you that linking with the quotes?

[The Rose Dragon]

How do you that linking with the quotes?

Get the image source of the link generated by quote tags, get the URL you want to link to, use the BB code to turn the image into a link to that URL, place it at the appropriate location in the quote.

That was the first thing I did, but linking the image in the upper part of the quotes doesn't work properly

Edit: And apparently the quote button removes quote blocks even when they're inside noparse blocks. :smallamused: Well, at least you can view it this way and highlighting with the mouse for copy+paste works.

[Neftren]

This reminds me. Did anyone ever actually do a complete BB Code guide? I know of this (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=8483419#post8483419) thread, but it appears to be incomplete, and unmaintained...

[Zherog]

If you scroll to the bottom of the page to the little box on the left that says what you can and can't do, where it says "vB Code is On" will give you a link to a tutorial about the codes. It's also incomplete, but it's not too bad.
