Embedding a Table into Your Content
If you want to display structured information like a schedule or comparison in your content, you can easily do this by embedding a table. In ahead, this is possible by uploading an HTML file that contains your table and linking to it via the Embedded content building block.
How to Embed a Table Using an HTML File
1. Create your table as an HTML file
Use a simple text editor and format your content as follows. You can also use the help of ChatGPT to generate your file.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang='en'>
<head>
<meta charset='UTF-8'>
<meta name='viewport' content='width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0'>
<title>Weekly Team Meeting Schedule</title>
<style>
body {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
margin: 20px;
}
table {
width: 100%;
border-collapse: collapse;
margin: 20px 0;
}
th, td {
padding: 10px;
text-align: left;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
}
th {
background-color: #f0f0f0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Weekly Team Meeting Schedule</h2>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Day</th>
<th>Time</th>
<th>Topic</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr><td>Monday</td><td>10:00 AM</td><td>Weekly Kick-off</td></tr>
<tr><td>Tuesday</td><td>2:00 PM</td><td>Project Sync</td></tr>
<tr><td>Wednesday</td><td>11:00 AM</td><td>Customer Feedback Review</td></tr>
<tr><td>Thursday</td><td>3:00 PM</td><td>Feature Planning</td></tr>
<tr><td>Friday</td><td>9:30 AM</td><td>Team Retro</td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>
2. Save it as a .html file
For example: weekly_team_meeting_schedule.html
3. Add it to your ahead content
In your news, page, or event, follow these steps:
- Add a Document building block
- Upload your HTML file as an attachment
- Right-click on the uploaded file and select “Copy link address”
- Add an Embedded content building block
- Paste the link you copied into the field
- ✅ Voilá! The table will appear directly in your content
