I've just started running my first game and I'm trying to format certain posts to make things easier to read. However, I don't understand how to use the table function at all. Can somebody explain? Thank you in advance.

The first piece of advice I would give is to read Adam's guide to tables. What issues are you running into? What are you trying to accomplish?

Thanks for the link, I'll look it over but it seems very complicated at a glance! All I want to do is make tables for weapons and gear so my players can quickly reference information like damage, weight, cost, ammo, etc.

Alright! There are two things to know. First, Compact is your friend. Second, you divide columns with | and rows with breaks.

To be quite frank, this is something I use GPTs for. I give them the info I need as well as the template, and it does the coding for me. I understand not everyone likes that, though. I'm not wild about the idea, but holy smokes has it generated some massive and complex tables for me.

Thanks! That will probably be enough to go on for now!
