How to Format Table in HTML in Text Tile?

Hi,

I’m having difficulty formatting HTML in a text tile. I want to create a set of definitions in the form of a table, which is not located in our dataset. I first tried the very limited table format for a text tile in Looker, but it didn’t really let me do much in terms of formatting the text.

I then went to use HTML format, and I am having difficulty actually making a table, with lines in between each cell (i.e. border-collapse). This is what I have so far, and I just want the same border on the outside, to be also the borders between each cell.

<table style="
text-align: center;
font-size: 16px;
padding: 2em 3em;
border-collapse: collapse;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #073763;
border-width: 0.3em;
background-color: #f1f1f1;
margin: 5em;">

<tbody>
<tr style="text-align: center;">
<th>Header</th>
<th>Header2</th>
</tr>
<tr>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="text-align: center;">
<strong>title1</strong>
</td>
<td>
<p>description</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="text-align: center;"><strong>title2</strong></td>
<td>description2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="text-align: center;"><strong>title3</strong></td>
<td>description3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="text-align: center;"><strong>title4</strong></td>
<td>description4</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

There seems to be very limited support around this topic, and it would be greatly appreciated if there was a way to make a nice looking table. Thank you!

Brilliant @n_davis ! Thank you for your time and help. I was able to create the lines in the table. :blush:
