A lake-ranking table
Ask Claude: “List the five largest lakes in the US. Present the results in an HTML table.” Copy the generated HTML into WordPress’s Text tab, then switch to Visual to check the result. Refine it with prompts such as “Make the column heads black with white letters in all caps” or “Now make the background of every other row light gray.” section 1.5.14
A practical table workflow:
- Decide what information the table should display. section 1.5.14
- Generate or write HTML containing table, row, heading, and cell elements. section 1.5.14
- Paste the code into WordPress’s Text tab, inspect the rendered result, and revise the formatting. section 1.5.14
