To add a table into your rich text blog posts in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a table in a separate HTML embed element:
  • Open your project in the Webflow Designer and navigate to the page where you want to add the table.
  • Drag and drop an HTML embed element onto the page where you want the table to appear.
  • Open the HTML embed element and create your table using HTML markup. You can define the table structure using <table>, <thead>, <tbody>, <tr>, and <td> elements. Add the necessary content within the cells.
  • Customize the table by applying CSS styles to the table elements or by adding classes and stylesheets.
  1. Insert the HTML embed element into the rich text editor:
  • In the CMS collection or blog post template, navigate to the rich text field where you want to insert the table.
  • Click on the "+" icon in the rich text editor toolbar.
  • Select the HTML embed option.
  • Copy the HTML embed element containing your table from the page and paste it into the HTML embed field in the rich text editor.
  1. Preview and publish the changes:
  • Preview the page or blog post to see how the table appears within the rich text content.
  • If you're satisfied with the result, publish your website to make the changes live.

Please note that while this method allows you to add a table into a rich text blog post, the table won't be dynamically editable within the Webflow CMS. If you want to have a dynamically editable table, you might need to explore using third-party integrations or custom code solutions.
