How to Use the WYSIWYG Table Editor

To begin building a table with the WYSIWYG editor, click on the Insert Table button.

A basic 3x3 table will appear along with additional formatting options.

Click on the top of a column to select the whole column.

Click on the left side of a row to select the whole row.

Click on the button in the top-left corner of the table to select the entire table.

The dots bordering the table editor are buttons for adding rows and columns.

Hover over a dot to expand it to a blue Plus, then click the blue Plus to add a new row or column.

You can also add rows and columns by clicking the Edit Cell drop-down menu, which will give you options for manually adding a row or column in the selected direction.

Select a row or column.

A red X will appear above or adjacent to the selected row or column. Click the red X to delete the row or column.

The red X will also appear in the top-left corner when the entire table is selected. Click the red X to delete the entire table

The Backspace and Delete keys will also delete the entire table if selected, so be careful not to delete your work by accident!

Click on a cell to begin typing in it.

In a cell, Dozuki's normal wiki formatting toolbar (and the respective hotkeys) work the same as with normal WYSIWYG wiki formatting (Wiki Formatting and Syntax).

When typing, you can use the arrow keys to navigate between cells without having to click.

Use Shift + Enter to start a new line within a cell. This will expand the whole row.

In addition to Dozuki's normal WYSIWYG formatting options, the WYSIWYG table editor has several options for formatting the text within individual cells.

Toggle Header: Clicking this will change the selected text to the Custom header HTML as defined under Configuration > Appearance in the Management Console (the default is Bold Text).

Align Text: This drop-down menu lets you choose the horizontal and vertical alignment of the selected data (the default is top + left alignment).

Text Color: Change the color of the selected text.

Background Color: Change the background color of the selected cells.

Triple-click on a cell to highlight it.

Shift + click to select more cells in addition to the highlighted one. You can also use Shift + arrow keys to select and deselect.

Using either of these inputs will take you out of typing and into highlighting without having to triple-click.

Use the formatting toolbar or keyboard shortcuts to format the text in all highlighted cells.

While you can format the text, you cannot edit the content of multiple cells at once.

Entering text will clear all selected data and enter the text into the last cell selected. Pressing the Backspace or Delete key will simply clear all data.

Remember, pressing Backspace or Delete when the whole table is selected will delete the table!

You can click and drag to change the width of individual columns.

Hover over the border between columns until the cursor changes, then click and drag left or right for the desired width.

You cannot edit rows by clicking and dragging, but you can achieve a similar effect by adding carriage returns with Shift + Enter as described in Step 5.

Select two or more cells.

Click on the Edit Cell drop-down menu.

Click the inward-pointing arrows to merge the selected content into one cell.

The data within the new cell will default to the data that was in the top-left of the selected group of cells.

Data in all other cells will be cleared.

You can easily copy and paste data from other tables into the WYSIWYG table editor, both from Dozuki and from other applications such as Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel.

Highlight the relevant data in the table you wish to copy from, then Copy (Ctrl+ C/⌘+ C)

Select a cell within the WYSIWYG table editor and Paste (Ctrl+ V/⌘+ V).

The table will automatically populate the selected data.
