No, learn to make them by hand, download a free WYSIWYG editor or use auctions.

no it wasn't a burn, I just get to the point rather than sugaring it up.

I think that's a great idea! :)
Perhaps a little something in the Wiki? How to correctly put links in the forums would be lovely too.

I agree with Bast. It would be nice to hear a firm no from the actual creator before throwing in the towel tho :)

mrwuss has a point, bluntly made as it was...
There _are_ HTML editors out there, so Jonathan could recreate the wheel here within Forums, or folks could learn and use a tool meant for the job. Mozilla has a fine composer, and table tags are simple (trust me, I am HTML-illiterate). Shoe-horning a specific tool into a generic toolbox is always fraught with peril. *smile*
Sorry, mrwuss, I just can't stop the sugar. *smile*
Though, as a simpler solution, would there be a way to have three options in the "Reply text is" dropdown:
Plain Text (monospace)
Plain Text (proportional)
HTML
You'd be amazed at the things I've done with a simple monospace font. Folks would hardly need tables at all. *smile*

Jon has looked at WYSIWYG editors for the forums. I'm sure if he found a good solution he'd implement it.

All I am asking for is a different default font. *smile* I need not a new editor.

I agree with Bast about the wiki thing.
btw mrwuss is wrong - trigun can suggest it. In fact, he may suggest it.

I haven't posted anything in the wiki yet just haven't had the time ever to mess with it.... but if it is html than posting a link should be quite easy... example
<a target="_self" href="http://address">Link name</a>
now I could be wrong but I do know using the target = "_self" with frames that will open the link in the same frame
I think though just leaving the target="_self" will also work because I think there is a css that is set up to default all links, unless set manually, to go to the same frame...
ok this is jumbled so I don't think it makes sence but this was in reference to bast's question

I always used
<a href='url'>words</a>
it always opens in same frame

The wiki doesn't really let you make links using the 'a' tag. Rather the wiki has it's own way of having your generate the links. This makes using the target property a bit difficult. However, It should link like that anyhow. The big deal is that you still need an exterior source with which it link to, since things like the 'div', 'span', 'table' and 'pre' tags don't exist in the wiki world. I could link to this post, but it's not quite obvious that a lesson is hiding at the bottom of it.

Create a template for the table or get it from someone and re-use it each time you need to use it. I always have a table template in a notepad and each time I need it, I just cut and paste. All you need to do then is to make minor changes to the table to suit the items for sale.
