The post editor alleges that markdown and BBCode can both be used in posts.
I was trying to insert a table - I took a guess at pipe characters a la usual wiki markup, and that didn’t work.
A 2 second google suggests that this is valid BBCode
[table]
[tr]
[td]Derp[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]
but the results are obvious. Is BBCode turned on? Or is there anything else I can use to create a table?
Ta.
I just changed a flag which should allow it, but not on old posts. Try now?
[table]
[tr]
[td]Derp[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]
Nope, doesn’t look like it.
Evidently @anon14766838 has found the trick, but isn’t inclined to share.

Promise there will not be any graphs, get enough of them at work…
<table>
<tr>
<td> row 1 col1 </td>
<td> row 1 col2 </td>
<td> row 1 col3 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> row2 col1 </td>
<td> row2 col2 </td>
<td> row2 row3 </td>
</tr>
</table>
That’s the code.
Depends if @edd9000 gets near it.
Aha
OK - markdown does actually work, you just use normal HTML tags but separated from everything else with a blank line as described here under “inline HTML”.
So the above was done with
<table>
<tr>
<td>Zip</td>
<td>Zap</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Hurr</td>
<td>Derp</td>
</tr>
</table>
Thanks - it took me so long to escape all the crap in my post that you got in in the mean time.
I tried but couldn’t get the inline code to display…I should have just said replace “[ ]” with “< >”…but I got distracted by trying to change the border width of the table…
It looks Mark produced his code above using a markdown code block (four spaces or a tab at the beginning of each line)
<table>
<tr>
<td>Zip</td>
<td>Zap</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Hurr</td>
<td>Derp</td>
</tr>
</table>
Stupidly I laboriously replaced all the < and > with the HTML entities i.e.
<td>
etc. etc.
