Sometimes you just want one of your contributors to be able to add a table so that they can add some data, like a league table to a page or a post.
Squarespace makes most complex things seems simple to do (adding images to Galleries for example) but this 'simple' thing seems so challenging!
Yes, I know I can add a code block and add some HTML code to create the table. That's fine for me, but my users just want to do it like they would in any other application like MS Word - 'Create Table'.
I'm still hoping Squarespace will address this soon so we don't have to use online HTML table tools.
Update in 2022:
It is now 8 years later (yes that's not a typo... eight years later!! ⏳) and Squarespace have not added a Table Block to Squarespace. ☹️
The good news is that Michael (Squarewebsites) built a Table Block plugin that adds a Table Block to Squarespace, allowing you to create and edit tables on the page with ease. No HTML table code necessary, and it can automatically pull your table data from a Google Sheet, making it easier for clients to update their tables using a familiar tool!
