BBCode Equivalent for <Table>

[Michael Morris]

Hello everyone. I'm trying to figure out how to write a hack that allows users to construct tables. My board is one games - d20 and D&D in particular - and the users often need to display tables of varying sizes.

To date they've been told to use the code tag to and space the things out, but this a bit time consuming and frankly doesn't look nice.

I've been thinking such a tag would be similar to the {list} tag in function except that vbulletin would have to count how many items it's been given. For instance

{Table=3} would start up a table with three columsn
{*} First item, would show on row one, colum one
{*} Second item, would show on row one, colum two
{*} Third item, would show on row three, colum three
{*} Fourth item, would show on row one colum one
{/table}
If the user forgot to put in a fifth and 6th item vbulletin would put however many <td>space</td> entries that would be necessary.

Anyway, I'm gonna work on this, but I could use help if anyone has any ideals on how to do this.

I found it FANTASTIC as idea,and i'm really interested in it.
But i think it'd be so much complicated,and i don't know how to do,especially to capture all those parameters [?!?!?]....

You have to add those 3 BB Codes ;)
