How to create tables?
You can create tables using either the Text or Table widget. To create one through the Text widget, use vertical bars | to structure the cells and hyphens to separate the header. Example:
| Header | Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|:------ |:-------- |:--------:| --------:|
| 1. Row | is | is | is |
| 2. Row | left | nicely | right |
| 3. Row | aligned | centered | aligned |
To create one using the Table widget, simply select “Table” in the “Widget Type” field and customize it.
