Hey guys, Kuro here! Now, since you already have a good grasp of the basic tables, we will pratice a bit. And here, you will see why most authors think that tables are extremely annoying to make. Let's try... a status table. A basic one with four stats, hp and mp, as well name and level. Lt's make it very basic.
Let's see............ let's make eight colums, with a td to "define" the number of units per row.
(table)(tr)(td8)Status(/td8)(/tr)
Great. Now, we have the base and the first row made. Now, the name of the character, dividing it in two units. Liek this:
(table)(tr)(td8)Status(/td8)(/tr)
(tr)(td4)Name: (/td4)(td4)Kuromori(/td4)(/tr)
Done. Now, I want to make the hp and mp and it's values in one row, each in their own unit. So, I'll make the code like this:
(table)(tr)(td8)Status(/td8)(/tr)
(tr)(td4)Name: (/td4)(td4)Kuromori(/td4)(/tr)
(tr)(td2)HP: (/td2)(td2)100(/td2)(td2)MP: (/td2)(td2)100(/td2)(/tr)
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
Great. double check so that there isn't any mistake...... yeah, no mistake yet. Ok. No, a simple thing, the level split in two units. Let's go!
(table)(tr)(td8)Status(/td8)(/tr)
(tr)(td4)Name: (/td4)(td4)Kuromori(/td4)(/tr)
(tr)(td2)HP: (/td2)(td2)100(/td2)(td2)MP: (/td2)(td2)100(/td2)(/tr)
(tr)(td4)level: (/td4)(td4)1(/td4)(/tr)
Good! Now, the stats. I will need two units for each stat, since I will need the name of the stat and the numeric value of it. Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet's go.
(table)(tr)(td8)Status(/td8)(/tr)
(tr)(td4)Name: (/td4)(td4)Kuromori(/td4)(/tr)
(tr)(td2)HP: (/td2)(td2)100(/td2)(td2)MP: (/td2)(td2)100(/td2)(/tr)
(tr)(td4)level: (/td4)(td4)1(/td4)(/tr)
(tr)(td2)Str(/td2)(td2)10(/td2)(td2)DEX(/td2)(td2)10(/td2)(/tr)
(tr)(td2)VIT(/td2)(td2)10(/td2)(td2)INT(/td2)(td2)10(/td2)(/tr)(/table)
Done! Quite a long process, right? it's always important to pay attention to waht you done, and if you are going to do a line that repeats itself, just copy/paste it to cut the process short.
For exemple, the hp and mp lines have the same size as the stat lines, so I cpy/paste them and changed the text inside the td command.
Anyway, let's take a look at the final result:
Status Name:Kuromori HP:100MP:100 level:1 Str10DEX10 VIT10INT10
Done! Perfect! Always remeber to check for errors before posting the chapter, ok? It's better then posting wrong and later noticing the error and have to go and correct it.
Next post, a post about windows and the command (a)!
