Is there an easier way to post a homebrew class for review than using html code to draw a table?

Steal. Here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showsinglepost.php?p=21940064&postcount=2) is the post I use for the Base Class Contest to help people with formatting. At the bottom is a spoiler. Copy and paste the contents of either the spell-less class table or spellcasting table and just fill out from there.

Yeah, I'm familiar with that code. No offense to anyone that likes HTML, but that code sucks. It takes so long to enter the information.

It takes just about the same amount of time as typing it into a premade table. Provided you can make it all fit on screen at once, anyways.

Use PifRo (http://pifro.com/dnd/NEW/) and either:

Choose PIFBB for the formatting and replace the opening table tag with "[table=class:grid head alt1 alt2]" and each td or /td tag in the first line with th or /th respectively.

Or:

Choose Giantitp for the formatting, put it here (http://makaze-kanra.tumblr.com/ForumTableConverter), replace the opening table tag with "Table=head" and then click convert, and use the result, changing the opening tag to "[table=class:grid head alt1 alt2]".

EDIT: Two more alternatives are copying the base code and using the WYSIWYG button in the very top left, and using the old giantitp tables with the pipe (this character: |) and using the table converter.

EDIT2: Also my inner computer scientist has finally succumbed: I just cannot hold back from telling you that the code is BBCode, not HTML. They're different in that BBCode is infinitely easier to use and does about 99% of the same stuff.
