Is there any possible method to center a table in BBCode? It seems that the center tag only centers the inside text, not the whole table.

The code
[center][table][tr][th]col1[/th][th]col2[/th][th]col3[/th][/tr][tr][td]1[/td][td]1[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]1[/td][td]1[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]1[/td][td]1[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][/table][/center]

@kizumi91 You could just use invisible spaces to fake it until they make it. Spoiler: They wont make it!

@Shishio-kun Thanks for your reply, using transparent image as padding space is a good trick but I wonder if there's any pure BBCode method to implement it

@kizumi91
Tables arent part of normal BBCode to begin with. It is a custom code. From what i found if it was implemented it would look something like this but this does nothing

[table style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto"][tr][th]col1[/th][th]col2[/th][th]col3[/th][/tr][tr][td]1[/td][td]1[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]1[/td][td]1[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]1[/td][td]1[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][/table]

@traed Seems like it's the issue with bad coding of [table]. I also found that [table] doesn't work properly with [size], in order to resize the text you have to nest it directly inside [td]

Doing this
[size=200][table][tr][th]col1[/th][th]col2[/th][th]col3[/th][/tr][tr][td]1[/td][td]1[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]1[/td][td]1[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]1[/td][td]1[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][/table][/size]
will give you this

[table][tr][th]col1[/th][th]col2[/th][th]col3[/th][/tr][tr][td][size=200]1[/size][/td][td]1[/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]1[/td][td][size=200]1[/size][/td][td]1[/td][/tr][tr][td]1[/td][td]1[/td][td][size=200]1[/size][/td][/tr][/table]

@kizumi91 it will almost certainly never be updated. And if they did, the community would shit so hard on staff for updating that and not something else lmao. Also it took like ten years to add dark mode and even today simple changes to fix the home page's LACK of dark mode aren't applied, even if we give the codes to the staff. The updating process is weird now since it goes through a company today.


MAL is the best site but for certain creative things you'll have to make do with clever community fixes, it's always been this way. And btw there's also some cool table tricks in the follow up comments in the thread I linked earlier which I forgot to mention (and forgot to add to the main post lol)
