The posts in the plugin category and so on always have a table at the top, showing some metadata. I am wondering, is this simply a markdown table in the post template or is there a feature/plugin to prompt the user for this metadata? Here is an example of what I mean: [image] I tried searching …

Maybe Table Builder can help your users to post a table

I’ve seen that one, but I don’t think it’s useful for pre-defined stuff. Basically I want to create a topic template with a table on top, but only show a few input fields to the user plus the usual free-text post.

Sorry, it may have been the wrong word then. I only used it to differentiate between the markdown editor with formatting support, and the bare bones textareas of the form templates. The markdown editor is simple enough for people that aren’t used to it since it has a toolbar, while the bare bones te…

¿Las tablas en algunas publicaciones son markdown o una característica?
