How To Display A Table?

[Miles_hot]

I would like to display my cycle log as a table however I am having trouble:
* When I copy excel in it displays fine in the editor and then puts each cell on a new line when it posts
* Same when copying from Word
* when attempting to put in the HTML Tags it just displays the tags rather than reading them (which is odd when you think that I can tag for bold / italic / url etc)

What am I missing here or is this just impossible because of a setting on the forum?

Many thanks

Miles

You can use..

[list=1]
[*]2011-06-14: ammonia 4.0 ppm, nitrite 0.0 ppm, nitrate 10 ppm, pH 7.6, temperature 29 C
[*]2011-06-15: ammonia 3.0 ppm, nitrite 2.7 ppm, nitrate 10 ppm, pH 7.5, temperature 29 C
[/list]

to get:

1. 2011-06-14: ammonia 4.0 ppm, nitrite 0.0 ppm, nitrate 10 ppm, pH 7.6, temperature 29 C
2. 2011-06-15: ammonia 3.0 ppm, nitrite 2.7 ppm, nitrate 10 ppm, pH 7.5, temperature 29 C

As far as I know, html tags are not enabled and most people don't even get it as neat as ^

KK what does the list thing do for me here? The structure appears to have come from the words and unified number format... (though I shall do something similar)

You could do it in excel, take a screen shot and crop it, and upload it.

Nothing at all, the forum software does not support tables.

ok KK I'll just enter the info as text with no [list type tag.
thanks for the layout idea.

The reason I used the

1. tag is because then you have the days numbered, as it is also useful to know which day of the cycle something is at (and date is the easiest way of keeping record for yourself).

KK Good point - I will include the day number (as we have not been taking measurements each day during the initial boring bit).

Update: my thread now has a much nicer looking presentation (http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/363824-miles-fishless-cycle/page__p__3034309__fromsearch__1#entry3034309)
