Freeform Tables

The easiest way to create and edit tabular content is to use the freeform table editor in the WYSIWYG toolbar. You can create tables of unlimited dimensions this way. In practice, the more columns there are, the less readable the table will be (especially on mobile screens). Consider breaking up very wide tables into two or more stacked tables.

Tables created this way will by default have the first row become the table heading, and odd rows will have gray background to improve readability. An option exists to treat the first row as a regular row; to use this, open the table properties dialog and choose the "Table: No Heading" option in the Class dropdown.

Example - TABLE WITH FIRST ROW AS HEADING

First Heading Second Heading Third and Final Heading
The first column's content. The second column's content. The second column's content. The second column's content. The second column's content. The second column's content. The second column's content. The second column's content. Third column content, with an image. Booth Library foyer
Another row. Another row. Another row.
Another row. Another row. Another row.
