I've now updated to cover some more things, and considering the possibility of multiple guest addresses.. Turns out etherpad doesn't really do tables, so it's two sections for the two suggested modes, with matching subheadings.

It does, but I disabled the plug-in as you reported an issue which turned out to be https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/issues/17598 instead, and I was trying to sort out other possible reasons.

I just re-enabled it, tables are available from the toolbar, there's an icon just left of "Font Family". Note that it's still beta:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/ep_data_tables

and it has a couple of glitches. I just found one (which I didn't debug or report yet): don't start a page with a table, always write something before, otherwise it gets duplicated every time you load the document.

Other than that it looks reasonably robust to me, maybe quickly try with a test pad first but I think it should be usable.

Great, thanks.

It definitely has some jank - sometimes cursor / delete / backspace don't go where you expect. It's usable, though. I've updated this page to use a table. I've also added what the current behaviour is (both "local mode" and normal) for comparison, along with some other revisions. -- David Gibson (he or they) | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you, not the other way | around. http://www.ozlabs.org/~dgibson
