Hi and welcome smpcas,

You can use other text editor as ckeditor (look in the plugins forum) and then you can use tables for that :)

Using tables is not responsive. You can do this with floating boxes.

In the page you can use a code like this:

Code: Select all

<div class="column">
First Box
</div>

<div class="column">
Second Box
</div>

<div class="column">
Third Box
</div>

<div class="clear"></div>
The properties of the columns are defined with CSS:

Code: Select all

.column {
   border: solid 1px #000;
   float: left;
   width: 200px;
}
.clear {
   clear: both;
}
You have to "tune" this "raw" example! Or ask for details...

I plan to add a plugin for custom CSS in the next few days to the repository.
