Please Note! This question is about posts to a Forum thread, not Tables in Fantasy Grounds... :)

I don't see an option in "Posting" to a thread, "Editing" nor in "Advanced" mode to add tables to my posts. I found the BB Codes page and it's not there either.

Just for fun I tried .... with .... and ... and didn't get any errors. But I also didn't get a table, the encapsulated content was just ignored. Which leads me to believe I might be on the right track, just wrong monikers... ?

WHOA!!! While constructing this post the "table" and "/table" monikers were captured, so I had to add "noparse" code to make this post accurate. Now I know I'm on to something! Alas "row" and "column" were not captured. Again indicating, "table" is a correct BB code, "row" and "column" are not.

I'm not sure of what you are trying but CODE tabs will somewhat work if the columns are regular. The ones here are not - its an excel table meant to be imported into FG as a table.

TABLE tells it you're making a table.
TR tells it you're making a row
TH tells it you want a heading
TD tells it you want to add data

@GriogreThanks. This would definitely work as a backup plan, should there not be any native way to do it.

@bmosPerfect. Thanks. I looked at the subset BBcode on FG web site, I didn't take that the next step to bbcode.org.

TABLE and /TABLE for a table, TR and /TR for a row, and TD and /TD for a cell (all surrounded by square brackets). It's very HTMLish.
