Do you mean through a word like this- Test ??
If so put {del} word {/del} but replacing the { and } for < and > respectively.

Ok, it's really easy (when you're a HTML god like myself!)

EDIT - The problem is, the borders dnt show because of the background colour!!

IGNORE ALL SPACES IN TAGS!

You need the following tags

< TABLE > and < / TABLE > (indicates a table)
< TR > and < / TR > (indicates TABLE ROW)
< TD > and < / TD > (indicates Table box thingy!!)
< BORDER > (SHOWS BORDERS)
Ok:

< TABLE BORDER="1"> (number indicates thickness)
< TR >
< TD > INSERT < / TD >
< TD > DATA < / TD >
< TD > HERE < / TD >
< / TR>
< / TABLE >

If you remove the spaces, you get:

INSERT

DATA

HERE

You can add more by adding more rows!

< TABLE BORDER="1">
< TR >
< TD > INSERT < / TD >
< TD > DATA < / TD >
< TD > HERE < / TD >
< / TR >
< TR >
< TD > DOES < / TD >
< TD > THIS < / TD >
< TD > HELP? < / TD >
< / TR>
< / TABLE >

You'd get

INSERT	DATA	HERE
DOES	THIS	HELP?

Ahh, headers. There is a simple way that you can have the header ON TOP of your table, using a < CAPTION >. But using the following method, you can get the header INSIDE your table! You need COLSPAN AND/OR ROWSPAN. Getting more complicated. The number that COLSPAN equals is equal to the number of < TD >'s that is below it.
So, if you use this:

< TABLE BORDER="1" >
< TR >
< TD COLSPAN="3" > < CENTER > HEADER < / CENTER > < / TD >

< / TR >
< TR >
< TD > DOES < / TD >
< TD > THIS < / TD >
< TD >HELP? < / TD >
< / TR >
< / TABLE >

HEADER
DOES	THIS	HELP?

JUST REMEMBER TO REMOVE SPACES....QUOTE ME TO SEE IF YOU CANT GET IT WORKING!!!
Hope this helps ya! Shud do, it took me ages with all the edits I did!

For a 2x2 with a header, you'll want:
< TABLE BORDER="1" >
< TR >
< TD COLSPAN="2" >< CENTER > HEADER < / CENTER> < / TD >

< / TR >
< TR >
< TD > INSERT < / TD >
< TD > YOUR < / TD >
< / TR >
< TR >
< TD > DATA < / TD >
< TD > HERE < / TD >
< / TR >
< / TABLE >

HEADER
INSERT	YOUR
DATA	HERE

Another Idea:Try to use color and alternate fonts to make your tables appeal to the eye. Eye candy always sells!

fantastic, fantastic, thank you guys!!! that helps so freaking much. ahem, you ARE HTML God!

[Lavindathar]

Deathkiller, he asked how to do them. Not for examples. If you want me to get my portfolio out, then just say so. Cos I reckon they'd whip you hands down!
