Does someone really need to know how to make tables, etc. when using HTML

Question

HTML

Answer 1

It definitely doesn’t hurt to know. And the syntax isn’t too bad to get the hang of:

<table> // main
<tr> // table row
<td> // content1
</td>
<td> // content2
</td>
</tr>
</table>

I think tables are really useful for neatly organizing information that looks bad when taking up the entire container width (think pros and cons lists, or comparision charts).

Answer 2

HTML table is the easiest way to represent data in tabular form. There are advanced tables, but the regular HTML table is more beginner friendly.

In short: Yes.
