Making html tables on chesstalk!

[Christopher Mallon]

Perhaps someone can translate this onto the French board... My French isn't up to this level of technical stuff.

Anyway, let's say you want to make a table. If you do a normal HTML table code, it won't work:

<table><tr><td>hi!</td></tr></table>


But, if you do vbcode it now will. Replace all <>'s with []'s. You cannot use any additional variables at this time though.

start

[table][tr][th]title1[/th][th]title2[/th][/tr][tr][td]data1[/td][td]data2[/td][/tr][/table]

end 

That turns out like this:

start

data1	data2

end

Note that if you try to make the code legible, it'll put tons of extra lines in:

start

[table]
[tr]
[th]title1[/th]
[th]title2[/th]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]data1[/td]
[td]data2[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

end 

That turns out like this:

start

data1	data2

end

Anyway, hope that helps some people.

Re: Making html tables on chesstalk!

If anybody still uses old {DOS} command line batch files, this changes a minimal but proper html table into something like what you need to post it here:

chg -v -i %1 -s [13][10] -r ""
chg -v -i %1 -s " border=0" -r ""
chg -v -i %1 -s " border=1" -r ""
chg -v -i %1 -s "</thead>" -r ""
chg -v -i %1 -s "<thead>" -r ""
chg -v -i %1 -s [60] -r [91]
chg -v -i %1 -s [62] -r [93]

chg is not a built-in command, it's an old free utility.

works at least up to Win XP SP 3. A google search does not find the utility. Hmmm.... Hey, it was only 22 years ago!
