In the wiki you can; but the way to input one there is even worse than the example posted.. by gw?

It's not difficult to make the tables on mediawiki - just time consuming. It's a lot easier to use notepad++ or something and then just paste it all in.

I was also looking for how to create tables on the forum but it looks like webwit might need to add some plugins or something. I ended up just taking a screenshot of excel and putting it on imgur lol

also tables on MediaWiki are somewhat similar to LaTeX, so LaTeX users shouldn't have any trouble with it.

I use the excel plugin.

Works great!

Well actually noone but Ripster (already past that point now) should have any technical challenge with those tables, it's just annoyingly crappy manual work.

LOL!!!

BTW: tables are not really important but to be able to select a fixed width font would be great!

Installed a table mod (see button on editor). Needs polish.
