Any of you forum wizards out there know how to make P99 forum posts that display a table?

Such as this:
https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp

I know that is HTML, just wondering what format needs to be used here or if it is not enabled.

I have a large amount of data I am going to post about, and would prefer it present in a table format to make it easier to read / digest.

Thank you in advance!

I don't believe it's possible to do tables here: HTML is disabled, and BB Code (https://www.project1999.com/forums/misc.php?do=bbcode) doesn't support tables.

Your best bet is probably to reproduce the table somewhere else (eg. the wiki, /r/project1999) and then link to it here.

HTML doesn't look to be enabled here (likely as a security precaution).

The easiest workaround would be to post the data as an image file, if you don't mind the text being non-interactive.

Thank you Loramin, knowledgeable as always! I do have all the data in a google doc currently, I'll just create a summary tab.

EDIT: Not a bad idea Jharu, I may do that for some portions of my post I want to call out.

Make the table in a spreadsheet program and take a picture of it. Upload it to imgur and post the image on the forums. ;)
