Hello all,
Because there is a bit more to tables, here's the additional guide to tables. this mainly deals with adding extra layout to the table, by combining the different tags discussed by GoldFish.
Tables: advancedWe now have the table with aspect warriors, however, it still looks a bit plain. Therefore, we are going to add some more detail to the table.
The first thing we could do, is to add a header text over each column. This is the same as making a new table row at the top of the table.
This gives us the following code:
[table]
[tr]
[td][/td]
[td][/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Warp Spider[/td]
[td]A warp-travelling, heavily armoured aspect skilled at taking out massed infantry[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Striking Scorpion[/td]
[td]Heavily armoured aspect specialised in close quarter fighting. Ideal to take on tougher enemies.[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Howling Banshee[/td]
[td]A quick and deadly aspect, especially skilled at taking out armoured foes.[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Fire Dragons[/td]
[td]Lightly armoured aspect that specialises in destroying anything with heavy armour[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Dire Avengers[/td]
[td]The most common, and most versatile aspect. Capable of holding itself in combat, and good all-round[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Shining Spear[/td]
[td]A rare aspect, skilled at preforming lightning strikes. best used in hit-and-run style attacks[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Swooping Hawks[/td]
[td]The fastest aspect, capabale of reaching any enemy, no matter how far away.[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Dark Reaper[/td]
[td]Long range firepower aspect, specialised at taking out heavy infantry[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]
In the new first row, we'll write what's in the column below, like this:
[table]
[tr]
[td]Aspect[/td]
[td]Description[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Warp Spider[/td]
[td]A warp-travelling, heavily armoured aspect skilled at taking out massed infantry[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Striking Scorpion[/td]
[td]Heavily armoured aspect specialised in close quarter fighting. Ideal to take on tougher enemies.[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Howling Banshee[/td]
[td]A quick and deadly aspect, especially skilled at taking out armoured foes.[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Fire Dragons[/td]
[td]Lightly armoured aspect that specialises in destroying anything with heavy armour[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Dire Avengers[/td]
[td]The most common, and most versatile aspect. Capable of holding itself in combat, and good all-round[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Shining Spear[/td]
[td]A rare aspect, skilled at preforming lightning strikes. best used in hit-and-run style attacks[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Swooping Hawks[/td]
[td]The fastest aspect, capabale of reaching any enemy, no matter how far away.[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Dark Reaper[/td]
[td]Long range firepower aspect, specialised at taking out heavy infantry[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]
This unsurprisingly gives the following table:
Aspect | Description |
Warp Spider | A warp-travelling, heavily armoured aspect skilled at taking out massed infantry |
Striking Scorpion | Heavily armoured aspect specialised in close quarter fighting. Ideal to take on tougher enemies. |
Howling Banshee | A quick and deadly aspect, especially skilled at taking out armoured foes. |
Fire Dragons | Lightly armoured aspect that specialises in destroying anything with heavy armour |
Dire Avengers | The most common, and most versatile aspect. Capable of holding itself in combat, and good all-round |
Shining Spear | A rare aspect, skilled at preforming lightning strikes. best used in hit-and-run style attacks |
Swooping Hawks | The fastest aspect, capabale of reaching any enemy, no matter how far away. |
Dark Reaper | Long range firepower aspect, specialised at taking out heavy infantry |
However, this would still look very basic and chaotic, we are going to start using nesting of tags (i.e. using a tag in the scope of another tag). This is essentailly the same as the combining of tags that GoldFish explained.
We'll start by making the new row appear in bold, so that it stands out from the rest. This means that the code for the first column would now now look like:
[tr]
[td][b]Aspect[/b][/td]
[td][b]Description[/b][/td]
[/tr]
Also, we want the second cell to center it's text, which means that the code becomes:
[tr]
[td][b]Aspect[/b][/td]
[td][b][center]Description[/center][/b][/td]
[/tr]
The code for the entire table is now:
[table]
[tr]
[td][b]Aspect[/b][/td]
[td][b][center]Description[/center][/b][/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Warp Spider[/td]
[td]A warp-travelling, heavily armoured aspect skilled at taking out massed infantry[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Striking Scorpion[/td]
[td]Heavily armoured aspect specialised in close quarter fighting. Ideal to take on tougher enemies.[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Howling Banshee[/td]
[td]A quick and deadly aspect, especially skilled at taking out armoured foes.[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Fire Dragons[/td]
[td]Lightly armoured aspect that specialises in destroying anything with heavy armour[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Dire Avengers[/td]
[td]The most common, and most versatile aspect. Capable of holding itself in combat, and good all-round[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Shining Spear[/td]
[td]A rare aspect, skilled at preforming lightning strikes. best used in hit-and-run style attacks[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Swooping Hawks[/td]
[td]The fastest aspect, capabale of reaching any enemy, no matter how far away.[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Dark Reaper[/td]
[td]Long range firepower aspect, specialised at taking out heavy infantry[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]
Now, our table looks like this:
Aspect | Description [/b] |
Warp Spider | A warp-travelling, heavily armoured aspect skilled at taking out massed infantry |
Striking Scorpion | Heavily armoured aspect specialised in close quarter fighting. Ideal to take on tougher enemies. |
Howling Banshee | A quick and deadly aspect, especially skilled at taking out armoured foes. |
Fire Dragons | Lightly armoured aspect that specialises in destroying anything with heavy armour |
Dire Avengers | The most common, and most versatile aspect. Capable of holding itself in combat, and good all-round |
Shining Spear | A rare aspect, skilled at preforming lightning strikes. best used in hit-and-run style attacks |
Swooping Hawks | The fastest aspect, capabale of reaching any enemy, no matter how far away. |
Dark Reaper | Long range firepower aspect, specialised at taking out heavy infantry |
Now we have a nice table, but we still lack detail in our description of the aspect warriors. Therefor, we are going to add some pro's and con's for each aspect. The best way to make a list of things, is to use the list-buttom (
). This is the same as GoldFish explained, except that we are going to place the list in the cell with the description of the aspect warriors.
For example, our previous table row for the warp spider looked like:
[td]Warp Spider[/td]
[td]A warp-travelling, heavily armoured aspect skilled at taking out massed infantry[/td]
[/tr]
Now, we are going to add the list to the second cell, which gives us:
[td]Warp Spider[/td]
[td]A warp-travelling, heavily armoured aspect skilled at taking out massed infantry
[B]Pro's:[/B][list][*] Fast
[*] Heavily armoured
[/list][B]Con's:[/B][list][*] Expensive
[*] Short ranged weapons
[*] Bad AP on the guns
[/list][/td]
[/tr]
Using this, the result of the table is the following:
Aspect | Description [/b] |
Warp Spider | A warp-travelling, heavily armoured aspect skilled at taking out massed infantry Pro's:Con's:- Expensive
- Short ranged weapons
- Bad AP on the guns
|
Striking Scorpion | Heavily armoured aspect specialised in close quarter fighting. Ideal to take on tougher enemies. |
Howling Banshee | A quick and deadly aspect, especially skilled at taking out armoured foes. |
Fire Dragons | Lightly armoured aspect that specialises in destroying anything with heavy armour |
Dire Avengers | The most common, and most versatile aspect. Capable of holding itself in combat, and good all-round |
Shining Spear | A rare aspect, skilled at preforming lightning strikes. best used in hit-and-run style attacks |
Swooping Hawks | The fastest aspect, capabale of reaching any enemy, no matter how far away. |
Dark Reaper | Long range firepower aspect, specialised at taking out heavy infantry |
Now we'll do this for every aspect in the table, giving us the following code:
[table]
[tr]
[td][b]Aspect[/b][/td]
[td][b][center]Description[/center][/b][/td]
[/tr]
