Tables with Textile
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.
