Tables in MT

By Matthew Blest on Jul 16, 2009 at 6:10 AM 1 Vote 0 Votes

I need to add 'real' tables to some content in MT, is there an add on/plug-in that I can add to the edit window toolbar?

or is it better to copy and paste a a table from excel or word?

thanks

    Copy the html for the table into the entry, make sure your code is all flush left. (Otherwise MT will interpret the indents as extra lines.)

    Do not use excel or word, lest you add irrelevant Microsoft formatting. Make it in a text editor, or copy the code view from an html editor such as Dreamweaver.

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
