Tim,

In future the Content View will support rich editing of text, allowing you to style different parts using different fonts, colours and paragraph alignment. We might also support embedding tables of content.

Until this is available, you can enter basic HTML tags into this view, and when you commit the edit, they will appear as rendered HTML. For example, enter the following to create a 2x2 table:



Value 1A
Value 1B


Value 1C
Value 1D



Or, enter the following to create a pre-formatted block of text where the white-space is preserved:


Text with whitespace


You can also enter links (using ...) and other basic HTML tags (such as text).

We don't have plans for what you suggest. This would be like a mini Excel spreadsheet, where free-form modelling (i.e. arbitrary formulas in each cell) is permitted. In theory this could be done using the Content View (as outlined above, or in future via a WYSIWYG text editor). Omniscope is designed to allow you to structure your data more rigidly than Excel, which has many benefits. Can you give a real-world example of what the table might contain?
