A lot of the information presented on the site is in the form of tables. I was curious to know if there is a way to format a table within a post?

I already know about the CODE & /CODE. I was looking for something that might draw the boxes and preserve alignment. I googled 'vbullitin formatting table'

...and found something like:
vBulletin tables - supported? - Ubuntu Forums
...and...
CMS Formatting Tables (And a potential bug))

Does rr.com support the table code? And what is a good way to format tables?

Maybe it is better just to attach a PDF?

Until you get an answer there is this that you may be interested in:

[How to] Create your own vBulletin tables

I haven't tried it and a quick check doesn't show it in the advanced formatting options but it is worth giving a shot. It looks like it *should* work though it will (obviously) also rely on the site's CSS. It also looks like it is straight HTML so it doesn't appear to be all that difficult.

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="alt1" width="100%">
<div class="smallfont">Hi, this is a vBulletin table. Table class: <strong>tborder</strong>. Td class: <strong>alt1</strong>. Border: 0. Width: 100%. Align: center.</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Thanks for taking a look.

Maybe there is something else on the site that needs to be enabled or there was an issue in the presented tags? I cut and pasted them here, and you can see the results. :)

Your master site
I don't know if there is bbcode that supports it but HTML code in posts is disabled. See the posting rules below. That's a Lindsay decision I have no control over.

That leaves the PDF format pretty much. I was a bit curious about the topic - I can see some of the people on this site taking the time to create nicely formatted responses. I'm pretty impressed by the level of dedication as I read more and more posts. 'Tis impressive.
