Easygenerator tables simplify the organization of complex data and offer additional context for learners. You can easily insert tables into your course via the Table content block or to your text blocks with the Insert Table button from the toolbar.
Insert a table
To create a table, open a content page -> Click on the add content icon (+), and drag and drop the Table content block into the editor or double-click on it from the Text option in the left menu:
Note: By default, 4 columns and 3 rows (including the table header) will be inserted, but you can add more/delete them as needed.
You can also insert a table directly to a Text block by clicking the Insert Table button on the content toolbar, and choosing how many columns and rows you want to add.
Modify a table
Format text by selecting it and choosing formatting options on the content toolbar. You can select text in a particular cell, multiple cells, or a whole table.
Format the table by selecting multiple cells or clicking on a cell without selecting text. The table toolbar will show up with a few formatting options.
Table formatting options
Table Header: Add or remove a shaded header row at the top of the table. The header will be added in your theme color. You can change the color using the table toolbar, and Cell Background property.
Table Footer: Add or remove a shaded footer row at the bottom of the table.
Remove Table: Delete the entire table and its contents.
Row: Add or delete a row.
Column: Add or delete a column.
Table Style: Replace solid borders with dashed borders and/or apply background shading to alternate rows.
Cell: Split the current cell vertically or horizontally. Select multiple cells to merge them.
Cell Background: Set a background color by choosing one from the menu or adding a HEX color code. Remove the background color with the Clear Formatting (bin) icon. Click Back to exit without changes.
Vertical Align: Align the text to the top, middle, or bottom of each cell.
Horizontal Align: Align text to the left, center, or right of each cell, or justify cell content.
Cell Style: Highlight the selected cell in red or make its borders more prominent.
Outside of the table toolbar options, you can:
Click and drag column borders to resize them.
Add a row to the end of the table by placing your cursor in the last cell and clicking Tab on your keyboard.
Add columns by clicking the Insert button (+) that appears when you hover over the top border between the existing columns.
Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Z or click Undo (↶) on the content toolbar to revert and return to a previous state.
