comments and improvements and alternatives welcome

RE: Tables and using notpad++ as go between between google sheets and this forum. - Neowise - 02-08-2021

For Notepad++
alternative to making the macro is to import the one i have already created by editing the shortcuts.xml file for notepad++ and adding this macro inside the <macros> section.

Code:
       <Macro name="make table" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0">

I've been using this site for my MSPaint tables

https://www.teamopolis.com/tools/bbcode-table-generator.aspx

RE: Tables and using notpad++ as go between between google sheets and this forum. - Neowise - 12-08-2021

ah, very good..

I went looking and found this Table Convertor


copy paste from excel or google sheets


Only thing I had to do was edit [ table ] and change to [ table=60 ]

RE: Everything re: Tables and this forum. - Necro - 19-08-2021

Handy table converter here that Trigger found: https://theenemy.dk/table/

Takes your excel/sheets info and wraps BBC Code around it.

The only alteration you need to make is the first table in square brackets needs to have an '=' added to it.

Edit: Lol it's the same one Neo found. I've only realised it now as his link is a bit broken

fixed the link. yeah, cool site, makes it way handy.

RE: Everything re: Tables and this forum. - Neowise - 07-09-2021

making it so [ table ] works now just at full width. should hopefully fix te bug where things mess up if you post a [ table ] and let it go thru.

RE: Everything re: Tables and this forum. - Trigger - 04-10-2021

k, so lets see if i can mess up your clear instructions, (cos its my special skill)
 
I change the first line from...
 (table)(tr)(td)LINK(/td)(td)DESCRIBE(/td)(td)PAINT(/td)(/tr)
to... emm - this?
(table)(tr)(th)LINK(/th)(th)DESCRIBE(/th)(th)PAINT(/th)(/tr)
