How to add a table(s) to your post:
There are six tags you can use: table, tr, th (2/3), td. These tags must be placed inside of the square brackets: [ ]
Note no spaces in the real world, I'm adding them here so that the forum does not convert them into a table
[ table ] [ /table ] -- Start and end TABLE.
[ th ] [ /th ] -- Start and end table COLUMN header.
Optional:
[ th2 ] [ /th2 ] -- Start and end two COLUMN spanned header.
[ th3 ] [ /th3 ] -- Start and end three COLUMN spanned header.
[ tr ] [ /tr ] -- Start and end a table ROW.
[ td ] [ /td ] -- Start and end a table COLUMN.
See this code and example output to see it in action. Note: You can cut and paste the code below into your post to get started -- use the preview button until you get it working the way you want.
Creates this:
[th2]Table Header (2 column span)[/th2]
Larger Example:
[th2]Engine Will Not Turn Over[/th2]
How the magic is done...

Code:
[table]
[tr]
[th2]Table Header (2 column span)[/th2]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Table colum 1[/td][td]Table colum 2[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Table column 1, row 2[/td][td]Table column 2, row 2[/td]
{/tr]
[/table]Creates this:
| Table colum 1 | Table colum 2 |
| Table column 1, row 2 | Table column 2, row 2 |
Larger Example:
| Cranking motor inoperative or defective | Replace |
| Battery faulty | Replace battery |
| Cables and terminals faulty | Inspect ground cable and battery-to-starting switch cable for any faults which may cause shorting; also inspect for incorrect connections. Replace cables if necessary |
| Starting switch defective | Replace starting switch |
| Internal seizure | Hand crank engine with spark plugs removed and clutch disengaged. If engine does not turn easily, internal damage is indicated. |
