I've been running into an issue for my story - and a reader suggested I make a feature request. It seems unlikely that it's worth it for one user, but I figure I might as well. Maybe other users will come out of the woodwork and want it? If not, feel free to ignore me.

Basically, I've been running into the issue that you can't merge or split cells in a table, which makes some things really hard to do. I've been getting by by having mulitple tables on top of each other, but it means columns don't match up cleanly, so it's a little bit of a mess.

I know some Xenforo form sites support it, and the user in question pointed out a github implantation -

github.com

GitHub - Slion/XenForoAddOnSlionsTable: Table add-on for XenForo 2

Table add-on for XenForo 2. Contribute to Slion/XenForoAddOnSlionsTable development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com github.com

Maybe I'm not the only one who wants it? If anyone does, speak up. Otherwise I guess it's no big deal.
 
Actually, I just noticed an old post in your thread that appears to pull that off:

For further condensation, you might merge together cells for the same achievement, like so:
Event Correction

General Weightlifting II: Corrects Physical Outcomes involving Weightlifting to a [Minor] extent.

Unlock Fitness on Luca/Doll/whatever Status.

Athletic Form II: Corrects Physical Outcomes involving Proper Form to a [Minor] extent.

+2 Vitality Recovery, + 1 Fitness Recovery
........
Fable: Initiate
The direction of your life has deviated from reality to a [Trivial] extent through Myths. 		........

Myth: Prim and Proper
There is propriety, grace, and decorum.

Sorcery: Initiate
The Flow of Events has deviated from reality to a [Trivial] extent through Influences.

Influence: Everything in its Place
The design disallowed deviation or chaos.

Although you'd need to experiment to find out whether it actually handled a full table in a stable, sensible fashion or if it would do something like not line up borders across the merges, or pick awful column-widths because one segment didn't have much text even though that mangled an entry that was the other side of merged cells. Still, might be worth asking for a tutorial?

It looks like you have to go back to raw BB code (or quote/copy from an old post) to do it. My old table and a new, blank one that I made just now don't even use the same BB code standard!

I'm guessing the older table was made prior to the XF2 changeover?
