I imagine that it would work if there were separate BBcodes for table, th, tr, and td, so you'd be using HTML but with square brackets instead of angle brackets. But you'd have only the elements, not their attributes (align, valign, rowspan, border, etc.) so it would be rather primitive.

There hasn't been much demand for table tags; I don't think it's come up before. One workaround is to use
Code:
 to line up tabular information, e.g.,
[code]English    Spanish    Klingon

BBcode.org lists "popular bbcode tags, some considered to be standard and supported in just about any bbcode implementation, others less likely to be supported". Sure enough, our version of vBulletin supports some but not all of them. For example, vBulletin doesn't support strikeout. bbcode.org lists it as but we added it ourselves as .

When I post it in some other vB forums, it comes out like

Maybe that functionality comes with vB 4.x.
