Welcome to MR!!

Tex has several good examples on how to design your table - definitely take a look at those threads.

As for the mechanics of adding a table into Sigil - I use clips and then copy paste as necessary.

I set the clip bars to be visible just below the icons then set a 'Table' clip to:

Code:

<table class="">
 <thead>
  <tr><th colspan="2"></th></tr>
 </thead>
 <tfoot>
  <tr><td colspan="2"></td></tr>
 </tfoot>
 <tbody>
  <tr><td></td><td></td></tr>
  <tr><td></td><td></td></tr>
 </tbody>
</table>

Then I can insert this template wherever the cursor is placed.

You might need to use copy/paste to adjust the number of columns/rows of your table...and of course use CSS to style the table according to your wishes.

Cheers!

Yep, exactly what I do too. I have a simple "Table" HTML clip saved, then click that + copy/paste more rows as needed.

@daiweisc you can also generate simple tables with the HTML Tables Generator website.

Libre Office Calc can export a spreadsheet as XHTML (it contains table code).
