<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Thanks for the suggestion to try
WP-Table-Reloaded, but I had seen that one previously and opted not to try
it. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I saw that this plugin is pretty
popular and so thought it might work for me. However…… not didn’t
seem to be optimal for what I had in mind (though I could be wrong).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Here’s my reasoning: It
seems to suggest that it stores each “table” that you create ( I
guess for re-use purposes) and then you reference that table in your post/page
using a special shortcode. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Am I correct in
this? If so, that might work for some situations, but
I’m thinking that most times you’d want the actual content in the
table to be stored in the actual post/page and not simply hitting a reference
to where it’s stored somewhere else. What if someone removes
the actual table data in the “plugin” backend – or
deinstalled the plugin (or it stops working due to a upgrade or the plugin dev.
Stops…)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>What I’m pursuing is
simply a way to generate the html needed for formatting in the front-end editor
– thus, even if the editor plugin I use to do this function “goes
away”, breaks, or I deinstall it, the content in the page/post is not
dependent on it – since it’s just standard HTML.
