Tutorial (part 3): Bigger tables are f*cking annoying!!!

  Hey guys, Kuro here! Now, since you already have a good grasp of the basic tables, we will pratice a bit. And here, you will see why most authors think that tables are extremely annoying to make. Let's try... a status table. A basic one with four stats, hp and mp, as well name and level. Lt's make it very basic.

  Let's see............ let's make eight colums, with a td to "define" the number of units per row.

  (table)(tr)(td8)Status(/td8)(/tr)

  Great. Now, we have the base and the first row made. Now, the name of the character, dividing it in two units. Liek this:

  (table)(tr)(td8)Status(/td8)(/tr)

  (tr)(td4)Name: (/td4)(td4)Kuromori(/td4)(/tr)

  Done. Now, I want to make the hp and mp and it's values in one row, each in their own unit. So, I'll make the code like this:

  (table)(tr)(td8)Status(/td8)(/tr)

  (tr)(td4)Name: (/td4)(td4)Kuromori(/td4)(/tr)

  (tr)(td2)HP: (/td2)(td2)100(/td2)(td2)MP: (/td2)(td2)100(/td2)(/tr)

  Great. double check so that there isn't any mistake...... yeah, no mistake yet. Ok. No, a simple thing, the level split in two units. Let's go!

  (table)(tr)(td8)Status(/td8)(/tr)

  (tr)(td4)Name: (/td4)(td4)Kuromori(/td4)(/tr)

  (tr)(td2)HP: (/td2)(td2)100(/td2)(td2)MP: (/td2)(td2)100(/td2)(/tr)

  (tr)(td4)level: (/td4)(td4)1(/td4)(/tr)

  Good! Now, the stats. I will need two units for each stat, since I will need the name of the stat and the numeric value of it. Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet's go.

  (table)(tr)(td8)Status(/td8)(/tr)

  (tr)(td4)Name: (/td4)(td4)Kuromori(/td4)(/tr)

  (tr)(td2)HP: (/td2)(td2)100(/td2)(td2)MP: (/td2)(td2)100(/td2)(/tr)

  (tr)(td4)level: (/td4)(td4)1(/td4)(/tr)

  (tr)(td2)Str(/td2)(td2)10(/td2)(td2)DEX(/td2)(td2)10(/td2)(/tr)

  (tr)(td2)VIT(/td2)(td2)10(/td2)(td2)INT(/td2)(td2)10(/td2)(/tr)(/table)

  Done! Quite a long process, right? it's always important to pay attention to waht you done, and if you are going to do a line that repeats itself, just copy/paste it to cut the process short.

  For exemple, the hp and mp lines have the same size as the stat lines, so I cpy/paste them and changed the text inside the td command.

  Anyway, let's take a look at the final result:

  Done! Perfect! Always remeber to check for errors before posting the chapter, ok? It's better then posting wrong and later noticing the error and have to go and correct it.

  Next post, a post about windows and the command (a)!
