Why do you need it to be "TW5 tables", i.e with pipe characers instead of html tags? FYI, it is not painless to edit "TW5 tables" either because those pipe characters don't "line up" in edit mode and it's easy to miss or add pipe characters in the wrong places.
Perhaps what you're really asking for is just a simpler "UI" to edit the content that is *in* the html table? Like some kind of form. Not saying I have a solution for this, but just to make sure you're really asking for what it is you want help with. <:-) On Thursday, March 24, 2016 at 2:19:17 PM UTC+1, Ed wrote: > > Hi Mat, > > No sorry, like I said only HTML.
