Tables

Enodo Semantic incorporates a comprehensive table editor with cell merging, alignment, header and footer sections, and text formatting within each cell.

Create a table

  1. Click the + button to add a block.
  2. Select Table in the grid.
  3. An empty table is inserted with a default configuration.

Paste from a spreadsheet

You can paste directly a table from Excel, Google Sheets, or any other spreadsheet:

  1. Copy the cells in your spreadsheet.
  2. Paste into an existing table block. Enodo Semantic automatically detects HTML data or tab-separated data and constructs the table.

Navigate in a table

ActionShortcut
Next cellTab
Previous cellShift+Tab
Cell aboveArrow up
Cell belowArrow down
Cell to the leftArrow left
Cell to the rightArrow right

Navigation loops automatically: Tab on the last cell of a row moves to the first cell of the next row.

Add rows and columns

When the cursor is in a cell, the table toolbar displays:

  • Add a row above
  • Add a row below
  • Add a column to the left
  • Add a column to the right

Delete rows and columns

  • Delete row: deletes the row containing the active cell.
  • Delete column: deletes the column containing the active cell.

Merge cells

  1. Select multiple cells by clicking a start cell then holding Shift and clicking the end cell (selected cells must form a rectangle).
  2. Click on Merge cells in the toolbar.
  3. 3. The cells are combined into one with the appropriate colspan and/or rowspan attributes.

The system intelligently detects the merge rectangle considering already merged cells (colspan/rowspan existing).

Split a cell

  1. Place your cursor in a merged cell (which has a colspan or rowspan greater than 1).
  2. Click on Split cell in the toolbar.
  3. The cell is divided into individual cells.

Table header and footer

  • Toggle header: the first row is marked as a header (<thead>). Header cells are visually distinct.
  • Toggle footer: the last row is marked as a table footer (<tfoot>).

Cell alignment

Horizontal alignment

Click the alignment buttons in the toolbar:

  • Left (default)
  • Center
  • Right

Vertical alignment

  • Top (default)
  • Middle
  • Bottom

Formatting within cells

Each table cell supports the same inline formatting as paragraphs:

  • Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough
  • Links, inline quotes, abbreviations
  • Inline code, superscript, subscript
