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 …

It is a markdown table.

Thanks for the answer! That explains why I couldn’t find any feature for it. For my usecase I want to make it easy for users to enter this metadata, even if they aren’t used to markdown. So I’ll probably see if I can make a custom plugin, just didn’t want to reinvent the wheel in case it already ex…

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.

The new templates are designed for exactly your use case. You shouldn’t need a plugin. The caveat being that the formatting of the post seems to be fairly limited and is created as plain markdown so subsequent edits see the raw markdown.

Yeah I’ve just tried the form templates and found them to be a bit limiting. I want a form thing in addition to the normal post text, because I want users to still be able to format their text using the default WYSIWYG markdown editor. And the form templates only support basic text boxes, so no fanc…

[imagem] Winston Yallow: the default WYSIWYG markdown editor Don’t mean to be annoying but I wouldn’t describe the default editor as “WYSIWYG”. In fact the lack of that has been a subject of much debate … but I digress

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…
