Step by step it will then be rolled out to many more areas across ChurchTools—making it even easier and more consistent to edit your content. When you create a page in the wiki or write a new post , you’ll be using our text editor. Depending on whether you’re using the ChurchTools website or the app, the editor offers a customized set of features. Here, we’ll explain how to insert elements such as tables, images, or divider lines into your text. ### Inserting and Editing Tables Click the table icon or enter the `/` and select ***Table*** . By default, the editor inserts a table with three columns and three rows. The first row is set as the header row. A table always spans the entire width of the page. When you hover your mouse over the last column or row in the [preview](https://staging.churchtools.academy/en/help/my-churchtools/formatting-and-mentioning-with-the-editor/editor-what-views-are-available/), sidebars with a plus sign will appear. By clicking the plus sign, you can quickly and easily create a new column or row.

You can drag the bar with your mouse to easily move the column or row. If you click on the bar, the column or row menu will open. Here, you can delete or add columns and rows and adjust the alignment of columns. In the app, simply tip your finger on a cell to open the spreadsheet menu, which lets you edit it further.

Pressing **Shift+Tab** moves you back one cell. If you press **Tab** in the rightmost cell of the last row, you'll immediately jump to the first cell of a new row. You can also use the following characters in [the source code](https://staging.churchtools.academy/en/help/my-churchtools/formatting-and-mentioning-with-the-editor/editor-what-views-are-available/) to create or edit a table. The second line with the :- is very important; without it, the characters will not be recognized as a table.

You can then upload an image. You can also simply insert images using drag-and-drop. All image MIME types can be inserted, such as GIF, JPEG/JPG, PNG, SVG, and WebP. If you want to change the **display size of the image**, switch to the [source code view](https://staging.churchtools.academy/en/help/my-churchtools/formatting-and-mentioning-with-the-editor/editor-what-views-are-available/). There, instead of the image, you should find a line of text that looks something like this: [![Screenshot Text editor Image source code view](https://staging.churchtools.academy/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Text-editor_Image_source-code-view-1.png)](https://staging.churchtools.academy/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Text-editor_Image_source-code-view-1.png) You can use the parameters after the question mark to set various properties for the image output. If you want to change the display size of the image, adjust the number in the `w=940` parameter accordingly. ### Insert a divider line You can use a divider to visually separate larger sections from one another. To do this, click the divider icon, enter `den` "/", and select ***"Separator Line"*** . In [the source code](https://staging.churchtools.academy/en/help/my-churchtools/formatting-and-mentioning-with-the-editor/editor-what-views-are-available/), you can use three asterisks \*\*\* on a single line, without any other characters, to create the line. ## Read more - [How to use the editor?](https://staging.churchtools.academy/en/help/my-churchtools/formatting-and-mentioning-with-the-editor/how-to-use-the-editor/) - [Editor – What views are available?](https://staging.churchtools.academy/en/help/my-churchtools/formatting-and-mentioning-with-the-editor/editor-what-views-are-available/) - [Editor – What formatting options are available?](https://staging.churchtools.academy/en/help/my-churchtools/formatting-and-mentioning-with-the-editor/editor-what-formatting-options-are-available/) - [Editor – What are Mentions, and how to use them?](https://staging.churchtools.academy/en/help/my-churchtools/formatting-and-mentioning-with-the-editor/editor-what-are-mentions-and-how-to-use-them/)
