This seems to have been last discussed in this forum twice before in 2006 and 2005: The best way to show tabular data, is to use the [code] tag.

Any particular reason why [table] isn't implemented or turned on for FT?

This is my question as well. I see HTML is turned off.

What is the best means of presenting tabular data?

Code:

Sunday     Monday       Tuesday

July 13      July 14        July 15

Spacing makes a difference; it's considerably less than perfect, mind you.

Code:

Sunday     Monday       Tuesday

July 13    July 14      July 15

Bumping this. (Waited patiently :) )

Multiple requests for this over time pop up now and again.

This suggested tables were working, but stopped. A link to https://www.flyertalk.com/wiki/index.php/Wiki_markup returns a 500 code.

Ibobi suggested Wikis use wiki markup (known as wiki-pipe), not Forum markup, someone in that thread tried and failed and testing this today it still doesn't work, it renders as plain text.

Suggested using the code tag to create columns. It looks like it works, but takes a little extra work and isn't really a table. That post referenced a 2005 Post WRT to doing it with the code tag: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/tech...e-numbers.html It did suggest cut and paste from Excel into a pair of code tags. That can take away some of the extra work.
