Hi, creating tables in Discourse composer is easy. Just create a table in Typora or in another amazing markdown editor, and then copy and paste the whole table into your post. Don’t forget to use <br> as line breaker in your awesome table .
If you find creating tables to be a common task on your Discourse instance, you might be interested in this Theme Component, which provides a simple GUI:
(I’d add this to the top post in the topic, but it’s not a wiki…)
i don’t know if it was mentioned but it’s super easy to do this by copying and pasting from Excel or Google Sheets. it does the markup for you when you paste into the text box. i work with sports stats a lot and i work between Discourse and spreadsheet apps often and have made large data tables in posts. i’ve also copied PDF tables into my posts this way (using a spreadsheet app in-between).
I’m attempting to paste a spreadsheet (from Google sheets) that contains links, but the links are lost, and I am left with plain text in the resulting table. Is there a way to preserve/convert the links?
In this screenshot, the link is shown and is clickable, but the cell value is simply text which is likely the source of the issue.
