WordPress Tables and Charts in Pages or Posts

Technology > WordPress

Summary. Although WordPress doesn’t offer a tool for making tables, it’s possible to use standard HTML to create a table similar to the one found at the bottom of this page. In doing so, the the font style and size will be determined by your theme style settings.

Another option is to use another software program to create the tables and then with a screen capture function, make them into graphic images. Many options are available in this regard since most popular word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation software accommodates the creation of nice tables and charts. The top choices would be Apple iWorks (Pages, Numbers, Keynote), Open Office, and Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint).

Sample HTML WordPress Table Title

Table Header 1 Table Header 2 Table Header 3
Division 1 Division 2 Division 3
Division 1 Division 2 Division 3
Division 1 Division 2 Division 3

HTML Table Code. For a table similar to the one above, you can use the HTML code below. Additional rows or columns can be created by observing and duplicating the patterns seen in the code.

<h2 style=”text-align: center;”>Sample HTML WordPress Table Title</h2>

<tr><td>Division 1</td><td>Division 2</td><td>Division 3</td></tr>
