# Table possible?

 * Hello,
 * I’m using WordPress 2.7 and I want to add some regular pages. On one of the pages
   I’d like to add my CV.
 * I’d like to have something like:
 * time occupation
    time2 occupation2
 * ….
 * Is this possible? And if yes, how?
    The pure html code for a table does not work
   and I couldn’t find anything in the documentation. (At least, I haven’t found
   it, if it is mentioned somewhere).
 * Thanks for your help.
 * Sigrid

 * It seems to work on my site. You just need to switch to the htlm editor and write
   the table code. Or, create it in someting else (dreamweaver/frontpage/notepad,
   etc) and paste it in.

 * Yes, be sure to insert your html for the table in the **HTML editor** instead
   of the **Visual editor**.
 * If you still have problems after that, go to **WP-Admin > Settings > Writing**
   and check to see if _“WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically”_
   is enabled. It is disabled on my website, and — I don’t know for sure — but I
   wonder if that would have something to do with it.

 * Thanks. I’ve tried it and it works now.
    But I still have another problem:
 * The formatting looks awful now. Is there a way, to force WordPress to use the
   same style like on the other pages as well?
    If you want to see, how it looks
   now, go to [Lebenslauf](http://kronenberger.me/?page_id=6)
 * I think, the table looks horrible. But I cannot fix the paragraph style within
   the table.
 * [@dressedinvalue](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dressedinvalue/):
    _“WordPress
   should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically”_ was disabled. I enabled
   it right now, but there is no difference in the apperance either way.

 * The formatting would be controlled in the [stylesheet](http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development#Theme_Style_Sheet).
   You might also look at adding Eric Meyer’s [CSS Reset](http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/)
   to your stylesheet. Otherwise some table styles are left to a browser’s default
   or inheriting other styles.
