Creating a table from a tab-delimited text file

Updated Apr 11, 2017

In the desktop editor you can import a tab delimited file that will be converted into a table.

The tab delimited file needs to be encoded as UTF-8.

The data will be imported and a table element will be added to your article.

Remember that the data needs to be UTF-8 encoded.

Specify that the first row is a Header

If the first row of the data that you imported is a header then you can easily make that change after importing.

Next, click inside one of the columns of the first row and click the H button in the tools palette that appears.
