Hi all, I am running the current version of RW Classic here along with Stacks. I am rebuilding a website for a friend of mine who has a small business around a hobby we are both in. In doing so, I am needing to format text in a table way on some of the pages. I am looking for what stacks options are out there to help with this. Below is an example of what I am needing to do.

In searching the forum, I have ran across Iron Grid 3 which looks nice but it seems to be too much for this simple application. It is wanting to base on a google sheet or the like that can be edited and therefore edit the table on the site without republishing the page.

I also ran across Power Grid which could work. The way you put data into it is a bit cumbersome but looks like it could work alright.

I am just wondering if anyone else uses something different as my use case is pretty simple.

Thanks, Brian

I don’t know about solutions to do this in Stacks, but you will be able to do this in the new beta of RapidWeaver Elements 3 that’s being released Tomorrow!

Haha thanks Dan. I know I will have to switch over one day. I have watched a few tutorial videos already. I just run a personal website and a few for a handful of clubs I am in so learning a new piece of software keeps getting put off. I know I will have to switch sooner or later though.

Can you post the URL of your website so I can take a look and perhaps offer some guidance on how to convert it over to Elements?

Honestly, once you switch to Elements you’ll never look back!

Sure, the biggest site I have is my personal site that is mostly for my enjoyment. [https://be-traveling.net](https://be-traveling.net). It is trip reports of our travels for friends and family. Nothing complicated at all and I do feel Elements is a bit overpowered for it. It is the number of pages to move over that will be the trick.

I have a few other smaller sites like this [https://sanjacmodeltrains.org](https://sanjacmodeltrains.org) that once the page itself is figured out in elements, the movement of the data over would be pretty quick.
