Tables in posts

[RicardoJM]

Are we able to put tables in our posts? I think BBCODE is the syntax that should be used, actually, I should say I am guessing that is what we should use. I have tried adding a table but am coming up short in success. Below is what I think the right syntax should be for a 4 column table with a header and 7 rows.

Vehicle	Engine	Aisin Kit	Service Date
2000 Tundra	2UZ-FE	TKT-021	March 2018
2004 Sequoia	2UZ-FE	TKT-021	May 2018
1995 Civic EX	DB157	N/A	June 2018
2001 Solara	3MZ-FE	TKT-024	August 2018
2002 Acura TL	J32A3	TKH-001	March 2019
1999 Camry	5SF3	TKT-002	December 2019
2006 Sequoia	2UZ-FE	TKT-021	July 2020

I found an older post (2009) that indicated HTML is the syntax needed and tables are only allowed in the posts in the Members Only sub forum. I did some experimenting there and still no joy. While I am able to enter the HTML between the code tags; in preview it displays the html and not the table.

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8">
<tr>
<th>Vehicle</th>
<th>Engine</th>
<th>Aisin Kit</th>
<th>Service Date</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2000 Tundra</td>
<td>2UZ-FE</td>
<td>TKT-021</td>
<td>March 2018</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2004 Sequoia</td>
<td>2UZ-FE</td>
<td>TKT-021</td>
<td>May 2018</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1995 Civic EX</td>
<td>DB157</td>
<td>N/A</td>
<td>June 2018</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2001 Solara</td>
<td>3MZ-FE</td>
<td>TKT-024</td>
<td>August 2018</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2002 Acura TL</td>
<td>J32A3</td>
<td>TKH-001</td>
<td>March 2019</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>1999 Camry</td>
<td>5SF3</td>
<td>TKT-002</td>
<td>December 2019</td>
/<tr>
<tr>
<td>2006 Sequoia</td>
<td>2UZ-FE</td>
<td>TKT-021</td>
<td>July 2020</td>
</tr>
</table>

Ricardo,
I'm not aware of a direct solution or why both BB and HTML aren't parsed as expected but can say I've futzed around with the same issue and ended up generating tables as images before uploading to preserve formatting... weird and not fully functional but good for some uses.

Thanks Andy. That will work for me in this situation.

@RicardoJM
I have not been able to get tables to work. I spent some time on this with no luck. FYI: ignore anything pre-2019 because we switched to XenForo last year.

Tables, using the Insert Table control work in the upgrade. See the first post in this thread. Yeah!!!

Heck yeah!
