Tables
What's covered?Originally this topic was just about creating preformatted tables in earlier versions of RoboHelp. Then I needed a table where the rows could be sorted each time the user clicked on a column heading and that had alternate coloured rows. It took a while to set that up so I expanded the scope. RoboHelp 8 introduced a Table Editor to create CSS based tables. Whilst it is not the most intuitive interface, CSS based tables have many advantages. |
| These pages are not applicable for RoboHelp 8 or above where the table editor should be used. See About RoboHelp 8 and the RoboHelp Tour. | |
Sort tables with an arrow or an image showing the sort order Sort tables without an arrow showing the sort order and / or alternate coloured rows |
I have not tested these methods with tables created using the table editor introduced in RoboHelp 8. See the RoboHelp Tour. |
