Format a table

You can type USFM markers in a custom field to display data in one or more tables.

https://ubsicap.github.io/usfm/titles_headings/index.html# and

https://ubsicap.github.io/usfm/tables/index.html describe these and more:

Marker	Contents
\d	descriptive title - centered
\tr	table row start
\th#	table header - centered and bold
\thl#	left-aligned and bold
\thr#	right-aligned and bold
\tc#	table cell - left-aligned
\tcc#	centered
\tcr#	right-aligned
Note: # is the table column number, which is optional. \tc#-# and \th#-# allow a cell to span more than one column.
Example (left-to-right dictionary): You can select particular words and then select a writing system or style for them. In this example, a custom character style was applied to Table of Numbers. For a right-to-left dictionary, type the markers in reverse order: d\ 3thr\ 2th\ 1th\ tr\ 3tcr\ 2tc\ 1tc\ tr\

Do these steps:

Add a custom field with the type single-line text.
You can add it at either the entry level or sense level.
You must choose either First Vernacular Writing System or First Analysis Writing System.
In the Navigation Pane, click Lexicon, and then click Lexicon Edit.
In the Entries pane, click the desired entry.
Click the custom field, and then do these steps:

Type \d or \tr so FLEx will interpret the data as belonging in a table. Then type another marker and the contents.
Press the Shift key and then press Enter to add another line in the field.
Type another marker and then type the contents.
Repeat these steps until your table is complete.

Note

You can have more than one table in a field if you use another \d.
Advanced users can change the ProjectDictionaryOverrides.css to customize the ways it looks. You might need to Get More Help.
As the example above shows, tables can appear in Dictionary.
