How to insert tabular data in a post?

MichelH

I'm new to Vanilla, it looked like a really nice, fast and customizable forum so I installed it on my own server. Now I'm afraid I'm already struggling with it, as I want to insert a table with some data into a post.

The default editor has no options and only seems to allow plain text. The WYSIWYG editor plugin which was included by default gives me a lot more options, but I don't want to give full HTML editing/posting capabilities. I figured something like BBcode should be fine, but when searching for how to do that I can only find the NBCC plugin, which "Adapts The New BBCode Parser to work with Vanilla". Does this mean I also have to get The New BBCode Parser and install it?

If someone could help me getting tabular data in posts without much hassle, that would be awesome. Thank you!

It's pretty straight-forward:

Apples	44%
Bananas	23%
Oranges	13%
Other	10%

I recall not all of the table tag commands in the old vanilla didn't work

if you want to create tabular info it is ofter easier create a table in word or notepad or whatever.

put a tab between columns not spaces.

then cut and paste into the forum

and surround it by &ltpre> tags

Apples      44%
Bananas     23%
Oranges     13%
Other       10%
