BBCode - table borders

[Dusky]

Simply put, I can't seem to make them show up. The official guide says I have the options of dotted or dark, but either way, if I type something like

[table=dotted]blah blah blah[/table]

Then I get this.


blah blah blah

I'm not seeing any dotted border there. Is it just my computer not showing me, or am I doing something wrong? Problem with coding?

I'm not seeing the code you are using on our BBCode guide.

Important Note: The code table declares the contents to be inside of a table. The table accepts the options of 'none', 'dotted' and 'dark' which will change the borders of the table.

[QUOTE="The Staff]TablesPurpose: The Table is made to display and format data in square cells.

Important Note:



The code

table

declares the contents to be inside of a table. The table accepts the options of

'none'

,

'dotted'

and

'dark'

which will change the borders of the table.



Important Note:

The code

tr

defines a table row, the amount of cells inside of all table rows needs to be equal after accounting for column spans. The

tr

accepts the option of

'grey'

or

'gray'

which will give the entire row a darker background. This is used to highlight a row.



Important Note:

The code

th

,

td

and

tf

declare a table cell that is defined as a

table header

,

table data

and

table footer

, respectively. All of these codes accept the option of

a number

(such as

td=2

). This declares the column span, which will make the cell take up that man columns.

Code:

[table]

[tr]
[th]This[/th]
[th]is[/th]
[th]a[/th]
[th]Table[/th]
[/tr]

[tr]
[td]Data A[/td]
[td]Data B[/td]
[td]Data C[/td]
[td]Data D[/td]
[/tr]

[tr]
[td]Data Q[/td]
[td=2]It can span multiple columns[/td]
[td]Data F[/td]
[/tr]

[tr]
[tf]Footer A[/tf]
[tf]Footer G[/tf]
[tf]Footer TY[/tf]
[tf]Footer Final[/tf]
[/tr]

[/table]

Example:

This	is	a	Table
Data A	Data B	Data C	Data D
Data Q	It can span multiple columns		Data F
Footer A	Footer G	Footer TY	Footer Final

I believe this is the only option we have as far as tables go. So, what you're looking to do isn't just table=dotted /table it'd be a table=dotted tr /tr /table.

 

[Ricia]

The dotted option you are trying to use is not for the tables.

 

[Dusky]

Oh, I see. I guess I'd have to say then that the portion of the guide that I quoted is quite misleading, given that it clearly states that the table will accept the border-modifying options of none, dotted, and dark. Maybe remove that portion?

Thanks! That's really helpful, I can't believe I didn't think of that.
