Table Markdown Guide

Specifically for Simply Plural

This is a long one, because I tried to be somewhat thorough lol.

I'll use this profile for an example on how we've used them:

To make one box (so, for example, the top box), you just have to use this markdown:

| text |

|-|

With that in mind, this is the markdown for the two side-by-side tables below (that contain the image and pronouns):

| text | text |

|-|-|

Not too much different.

We go up to three side-by-side tables, most of the time. Any further, and it starts to get crowded.

Now, for a table with multiple *rows:*

This is the markdown:

| text |

|-|

| text |

Yeah, just one of these little separator guys "|-|" when you have multiple columns. It's a little weird to me, personally. It makes more sense to separate all of the boxes like you would if it was a singular row, but if you actually do that in markdown, like this:

| text |

|-|

| text |

|-|

| text |

|-|

Then you get this shit instead:

(honestly it looks fine, but if you want connecting rows, don't add the separators between each box)

Now, with this, you can add as many little boxes in one table as you want. For example, if I want a 3x3 grid, this is the markdown I would use:

| text | text | text |

|-|-|-|

| text | text | text |

↑ we like using that in particular to add unnecessary (but visually appealing) moodboards to different member profiles. Here's one from the same alter's profile as yet another visual example:

See how nice that looks? Fuck bro.

Now, you may have also seen that we were able to center our text in the very first example:

And typically, markdown does have the capability to align text. If you've looked at markdown guides like we have to try and figure this shit out, chances are, you might have seen it.

That doesn't work on Simply Plural! Being able to center text is actually a really weird, finicky thing (and honestly, I don't think this was even purposeful), so I'm gonna show you how to do that, too.

First, you need to make sure your text inside of the box has some sort of other markdown—like bold or italics. I'm a fan of bolding it, personally, so I'll use that in my example. It works with any number of boxes, but one is just easier.

Step 1 to centering text:

| **text** |

|-|

↑ Put some sort of markdown on your text, as I just said.

Step 2:

| **text** (spam that space bar!) → |

|-|

↑ Press the space bar (still within your box, of course) until you've pushed all of your text to the next line. I'll get a screenshot example for this one:

And it'll look like this, out of editing mode. ↓

I don't know why—I really don't—but for some reason, having markdown on some of the text is completely necessary to align your text in the center. If I take off the asterisks, it just looks like this now:

It's so bizarre. It really is.

But that's just about it! If anyone has questions, feel free to ask them.

✦ Retributionist

[PT: Retributionist. END PT]

A system role where an alter takes on the role of another alter who has gone dormant. Although a Retributionist can only take on the role for so long before taking a break, during this time they will not take on a new role. Retributionists typically only take on one role at a time.

Custom Fields Masterlist

I've put together a giant list of everything I could think of that could be something you might like to have as an option for an alter to fill out on their profile. I've divided it into sections and how we use sections is use the color option to use as a divider between sections which is why I have color in parentheses next to those.

Last Updated (timestamp)

|Divider (color)|
