Tables with Textile

15 February 2008

You may have occasion to add a table to a blog post. You can do this with Textile, with no html code necessary.

The format for a very simple, one-row table looks like this:

| Cell one | Cell two | Cell three |

which, depending on the styling on your site, gives you something like this:

Cell one Cell two Cell three

If you would like a heading at the top of each column, you could use:

|_. Heading one |_. Heading two |_. Heading three |
| Cell one | Cell two | Cell three |

which displays as:

Heading one Heading two Heading three
Cell one Cell two Cell three

Textile is not a solution for creating complex data tables, but for simple tables with straightforward headings, rows, and columns, it works.
