However, they're built in to the extension
Advanced BBCode Box. When installed, anyone can simply copy paste from the BBCode edit bar. Fields are separated by the "|" pipe symbol. We use tables extensively, because you can tidy up everything from pictures, to text, to videos. Leading and ending row pipes are optional. But for consistency while editing, it's best just to put them in. And generally, for the content I've described, you don't want more than about 5 columns, two or three are most popular and clean looking.
Here's our forum's How-to:
1. Table formatting requires the use of the "|" pipe symbol as a column separator**. It
IS NOT the letter "I" as in "I am."
2. Below is a sample table format as you would type it.
3. Every table must have a header, a column alignment row and a data row. You can have as many data rows as you like
4. Data rows must be in sequence, no breaks in the rows.
5. Data in the header row is optional. The column alignment row is hidden, but the ":" colon symbol specifies alignment/justification
|:----- for left (or if the colon isn't added, left justification is assumed)
|-----: for right
|:-----: for center
6. Spaces between pipe symbols, while editing, are for convenience
7. Pictures stored in a table are automatically reduced to fit. So best to have them in
format, so they can be expanded to full size when selected.

Tables are freakin' awesome!!! I keep a UCP draft with a bunch of them as a cheat. Mostly anymore, I use tables just to straighten up lengthy member picture posts, so without header data.
