Wiki Table Editor Overview

The Wiki Table Editor is an extension for Exhibit that allows you to edit a wikitext table using an actual table format. In this way, you will not need to learn the wikitext syntax for tables.

How to Use

Go here:

 http://simile.mit.edu/repository/wiki-toolbox/trunk/src/bookmarklet.html 

Then drag "Wiki Table Editor" to your browser's bookmark toolbar to make a bookmarklet. Then whenever you're editing a wiki page, click that bookmarklet to get the Edit/Insert Table buttons after all the wiki editing tool buttons.

To edit a table, put your cursor in the middle of the desired table and click on the Edit Table button. To insert a table, put your cursor at the place in which you want your new table to start and click on the Insert Table button.
