Tables
Tables contain structured data presented in lists of parallel columns or right-angled arrangements related to each other. Tables can be used to organise information in a (visually) sensible way.
With a click on the button "Insert table", online editors can create a table. An assistant opens enabling editors to select up to 4 lines and 6 columns. Following selection of the desired number of lines and columns, the table is inserted as configured.
The following buttons are self-explanatory and always refer to the cell that is currently highlighted, i. e. the cell in which the cursor is.
Table cells can contain two types of information: header information or data. This distinction helps user programs to present header and data cells in different ways: Text in header cells could be formatted in bold or in a different font. Online editors decide what type of cell they use via the buttons "header cell" and "data cell".
A properties' dialogue opens with a click of the right mouse button in the table and the following selection of the menu item "Table properties". Table 10 lists the properties and attributes available to online editors.
