Hi there,

I was wondering if this is possible:

I have a sharepoint list "Multiple lines of text" with the option of Rich text.

I have copy / paste a table from W3 Schools, hoping that I can see the same table in my power app either in a HTML rich editor or control or in a HTML TEXT.

But this is the result:

Any idea how I can get this done?

Thanks in advance

What is the full html you've tested with?

I think there are some limitations with html. There are containers restricting some aspects. But some basic things should still show up

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> table { font-family: arial, sans-serif; border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; } td, th { border: 1px solid #dddddd; text-align: left; padding: 8px; } tr:nth-child(even) { background-color: #dddddd; } </style> </head> <body> <h2>HTML Table</h2> <table> <tr> <th>Company</th> <th>Contact</th> <th>Country</th> </tr> <tr> <td>Alfreds Futterkiste</td> <td>Maria Anders</td> <td>Germany</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Centro comercial Moctezuma</td> <td>Francisco Chang</td> <td>Mexico</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Ernst Handel</td> <td>Roland Mendel</td> <td>Austria</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Island Trading</td> <td>Helen Bennett</td> <td>UK</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Laughing Bacchus Winecellars</td> <td>Yoshi Tannamuri</td> <td>Canada</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Magazzini Alimentari Riuniti</td> <td>Giovanni Rovelli</td> <td>Italy</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>

Here, can see the styling won't display. But it still roughly displays

Hey @TylerPA , thank you very much for your prompt response.

I was playing and found this:

I save the table code in my power apps a simple table:

Than, back to share point the edit function in the column turns into this:

Now I am able to edit add rows etc

Out of interest, <Style> tags are ignored for the most part with Rich Text and HTML Text controls - however, inline styling still seems to work...
So
<style> table, th, td { border:1px solid black; } </style>
won't work - but
<table style='border:1px solid black;'> <th style='border:1px solid black;'> <td style='border:1px solid black;'>
does...
