Question about post formatting

Is there a way to limit column width in posts? A lot of web sources have thin columns to emulate newspapers and to accommodate people with low res. It looks fine in hi-res... but if you post something without column restricctions it looks lame at a high res.

So yeah... is there a way to do it w/ bbcode? Can we add that function? I like lots of format options 8)

I like trying to recreate the source page(s) and doing my own nifty layouts.

Hows that :lol:

ffs drumbo man stop putting ideas into Hypers head!!! :D

Yes the table bbcode can be fun for all

Here's a quickie: [table="option1;option2=value;option3='this is a long value with space';option4=value1,value2,value3"]
The whole option list should be wrapped with quotes.
Options are seperated by a semicolon
If an option has a value it is assigned with "equal to" mark. (option2)
If the value contains blanks or special characters it has to be wrapped with apostrophes. (option3)
If an option has more than one value they are seperated by a comma. (option4)

Description of options:
head
This option defines the first line as head, so the first row is shown as head of the table. If the table sould be sorted, the head is not sorted.

sort=1d,2,3
This defines the table to be sorted by column 1, then column 2, then column 3. The "d" after the first colum specifies the order: descending (default: ascending)

autonum=1 (equal to autonum) autonum=a autonum=A
Defines that a new first column containing a numbering should be inserted.
1 -> 1, 2, 3, 4, ... , 999, 1000, ....
a -> a, b, c, ... , aa, ab, ... , zz
A -> A, B, C, ... , AA, BB, ... , ZZ

autonumtitle=oneword autonumtitle='long value with spaces'
Defines the title of the autonum-column. Can be left empty.

width=123px width=45em width=67%
Defines the width of the table.Here is an example of a table with THX2U sorted by recieved stats
Name|THX2u Received|THX2U Given
th3n00b|1,787|525
majorhan|1,605|1,922
Hyperx|1,493|853
Pooka|1,192|1,156
Jon|1,090|935
