About tables
In RoboHelp for HTML, you can create tables to organize complex data in a simplified format. You can organize
various elements in a table, segregate them using different colors, or draw patterns for easy identification of different
elements in a group.
Table styles allow you to choose different formats for tables. Styles can define header rows and columns, first or last
rows, repeatable groups of rows or columns, margins within cells, and so on. Using Table properties, you can set
margins in a table, define width and height of various cells and select different table styles. In addition to using the
predefined table styles in RoboHelp for HTML, you can create your own table styles to display for different kinds of
data. For example, you can have simple tables showing salary components or tables displaying the sum of salary
components, tax deductions including tax saving investments. You can have some global table styles, which can be
used across multiple topics.
You can import tables from FrameMaker and Word documents and map their table styles to RoboHelp table styles or
retain the original styles from other formats.
You can add text in tables. You can add cross-references, images, hypertext links to the content in a table. You can
apply conditional build tags to rows or columns to hide or show them in certain outputs. For example, you can have a
table describing features for each of the RoboHelp outputs. You can apply a conditional build tag on each column
listing the features for the specific output and display only if you generate that output.
Support for mini TOCs and breadcrumbs in Tables make them more useful for displaying content in an organized and
user-friendly fashion.
