Suggestion Table BBCode

I was wanting to know if the Table BBCode could be added. I think we could use it to organize posts more easily, as in:

When you enter a picture, it fits in one line, and with a table you could make a full paragraph line up next to a picture. Please look over it.

Input:

Code:

[table]{text}[/table]
[tr]{text}[/tr]
[td]{text}[/tr]

Output:

Code:

<table>{text}</table>
<tr>{text}</tr>
<td>{text}</td>

Thank you for your suggestion. I do not want to add table bbcode because if someone does not put all three table, tr, td bbcodes in, it will completely mess up the format of the entire thread pages where the code is used.

The image text wrap can actually be done much more simply. Instead of tables, it can be done with simple CSS.

A while ago I started laying out the ground work for this to work and add the new bbcode but never finished it. Your suggestion inspired me to finish and roll out the new bbcode.

Please see this announcement for more details.

Yeah, that works too. Though I forgot you could just make one single cell, and they would still fit together regardless of space and colspan, a more easier version would've been:

Input:

Code:

[cell]{text}[/cell]

Output:

Code:

<table><tr><td>{text}</td></tr></table>

...and you could add the border if you wanted. But, the text wrap works too. The downside of the text wrap is you only fit text around pictures, where as with a table you could put the text in blocks and move it around at free will, but could confuse some of the members here. But, whatever works.
