Tables

Tables organize the content in a visually distinct way which is more easily readable for certain types of information. Sonat provides all necessary functionality to produce advanced, visually appealing, and highly efficient tables. You can add both inline and block content (such as paragraphs and lists) to the tables' cells.

Insert tables

You can create tables and choose the number of columns and rows using the insert table button on the editor toolbar.

Table and cell settings and styling tools

You can simply edit the default style and look of the tables and cells including borders, color, background color, padding, or text alignment using the table toolbar buttons.

Click anywhere inside the table to reveal the table toolbar and take the following steps to edit the table styles and settings. If you want to edit cells styles, click the relevant cell.

Open the column dropdown button on the toolbar to:

• Set a heading column.
• insert columns to the left or right of the selected cell.
• delete the column.
• select the whole column to apply formatting or links to all cells of a column at once.

Open the row dropdown button on the toolbar to:

• Set a heading row.
• insert columns above or below the selected cell
• delete the row
• select the whole row to apply formatting or links to all cells of a row at once.

Open the merge/split cells dropdown button on the toolbar to:

• Merge the selected cell with a cell above, right, below, or left. (You can do it as many times as needed to merge different cells.)
• Split the selected cell vertically or horizontally.

Click the cell properties button on the toolbar to edit a cell style including:

• Border style, color, and width
• Background color
• Dimension
• Text alignment

Click the table properties button on the toolbar to edit the table style including

Nesting tables

Sonat supports inserting nesting tables into another table's cells which could be used for creating more advanced tables and charts.

To insert a nested table, put the pointer in the cell where you want to insert the nested table. And insert the desired table using the table button on the editor toolbar.

The setting and styling of a nested table are just the same as the main table.

Table selection

You can select an arbitrary rectangular fragment, a few cells of a row, an entire row or column, or more to apply to format and add links to the selected cells at once.

Table caption

Table captions almost serve the same purposes as Image captions. They inform the user about the content of the tables. They are also beneficial in terms of accessibility since they can be read by screen readers.

• Use the table caption button on the table toolbar to invoke the caption field, write and edit the caption, or toggle the caption on and off.
