Table

Simple table can be built by separating each field with the pipe character (|). AnTreNotes and Desktop TreNotes automatically provides basic table borders for all tables. Put '_.' right after | to mark the cell as a table header.

|_. Size|_. Height (cm)|_. Weight (kg)|
|1|145-165|45-60|
|2|145-170|50-70|
|3|150-175|55-75|

will become this:

2 145-170 50-70
3 150-175 55-75
