How do you do the previously mentioned, as well as create tables, particularly multi-column ones, say a 3x6?

Search feature isn't helping me out cause I must fail at it, apparently.

For any of this kind of vbulletin bbcode, if you see a post on the forum with an example in you can always try and quote that post (even if you don't post in the thread) as it will show you the code used to create it.

Here is something I created a long time ago (data is no longer relevant), but it is an example of a table:

Material	Cost exc. Mats	Cost inc. Mats	Buying from Rare Trader	Selling to Rare Trader	Profit?
Bolt of Damask	200	365	470	380	Yes
Bolt of Linen	200	295	190	90	No
Bolt of Silk	250	540	100	20	No
Deldrimor Steel Ingot	200	640	800	600	Maybe
Elonian Leather Square	50	195	280	?	?
Leather Square	50	125	200	100	Maybe
Lump of Charcoal	200	300	150	80	No
Roll of Parchment	20	70	150	40	Maybe
Roll of Vellum	20	140	210	120	Maybe
Spiritwood Plank	100	150	130	20	No
Steel Ingot	200	570	190	60	No
Tempered Glass Vial	20	90	160	50	Maybe
Vial of Ink	20	256	280	190	Maybe

The way that looks in code is:

[ TABLE="head"]Material|Cost exc. Mats|Cost inc. Mats|Buying from Rare Trader|Selling to Rare Trader|Profit?
Bolt of Damask|200|365|470|380|Yes
Bolt of Linen|200|295|190|90|No
Bolt of Silk|250|540|100|20|No
Deldrimor Steel Ingot|200|640|800|600|Maybe
Elonian Leather Square|50|195|280|?|?
Leather Square|50|125|200|100|Maybe
Lump of Charcoal|200|300|150|80|No
Roll of Parchment|20|70|150|40|Maybe
Roll of Vellum|20|140|210|120|Maybe
Spiritwood Plank|100|150|130|20|No
Steel Ingot|200|570|190|60|No
Tempered Glass Vial|20|90|160|50|Maybe
Vial of Ink|20|256|280|190|Maybe
[ /TABLE]

(as with kajusbonus' example, remove the spaces before the two [ TABLE] tags to make it work.)

Also in the Advanced Edit option when you are making a post you'll see icons along the top of the text window (Bold, Italic, Text position etc.) the icon to the far right is for creating a table and will start you on the way to setting up a table. Those icons can do all types of bbcode formatting.
