I tried to add HTML into a post. I am not sure what the HTML tag button does. I could not get the following to show up as a table:

<table>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>2</td>
</tr>
</table>
HTML is disabled, to many nasty things can happen.

The [html] tag you see allows for html code to be displayed

EG:
HTML Code:
<table>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>2</td>
</tr>
</table>
There is bbcode that works for tables, we do not have it installed on TOTV. In our experience from other sites where it has been used in the past the table bbcode was rarely if ever used and it's rather tedious to use.

We suggest saving the spreadsheet as a pdf and attaching that to the post or a screen cap as a jpg, bmp or png and displaying the image.

Thanks
