Tables are not currently supported in vBulletin due to a previous update. However, there is a team working on restoring this compatibility/functionality.
Trying to create a table here fails:
{ border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3"
+ Caption
! Header 1 !! Header 2
-
Cell 1 Cell 2
}
See https://www.flyertalk.com/wiki/index.php/Wiki_markup
The regular post format also fails:
[table]
[tr]
[th]Route[/th]
[th]Class [/th]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]LON - NYC[/td]
[td]A - B[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

Wikipost features: adding tables to Wikiposts
Hi
I've tried adding a table to a wiki using the format
[table]
[tr]
[th]Route[/th]
[th]Class [/th]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]LON - NYC[/td]
[td]A - B[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]
but no table is created. How do I add a table to a wikipost?

I cannot seem to create a table in a wiki as whenever I use the pipe character, it is stripped off ... any suggestions of how to tackle this? is this a bug?

Looks like there is some javascript to strip off pipe characters if you hit 'submit' or 'preview'. Can anyone help?

Thanks, but the wiki markup described here:
https://www.flyertalk.com/wiki/index.php/Wiki_markup
suggests using the 'pipe' character for tables, but I have found it impossible to make a post using that character? what am I doing wrong? Is this a browser specific thing?

I even tried copying the exact example from the docs, which looks similar to this:
Code:
{ border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" + Caption ! Header 1 !! Header 2 - Cell 1 Cell 2 }

But the Wiki Markup documentation linked here specifically says to use the pipe character
I even tried copying the exact example from the docs, which looks similar to this:
However both in this post (when I try to paste the sample code) and when I try to actually make a table in a wikipost, the pipe characters get stripped out. I tried both Safari and Chrome.

Thanks. Possible to update the docs saying this? I spent a lot of pointless time trying to get it to work as the docs described.

EDIT: I'll include this in the documentation.
