Folks-
I'm trying to figure out the best way to display inline table content inside the stories on my site. I'm going for something somewhat similar to Apple... if you look at http://www.apple.com/macosx/, you'll see that they have inline tables (such as 'Spotlight', on the left, and 'Feature of the Week' toward the bottom. )
The idea would be that the table deisgns would be the same, but the content inside them would change depending on article.
So far, the best way I've come up with to do this is to create custom content types (green_table, red_table, etc.) and then insert custom tags into the text when writing a story. Then I write PHPTemplate code that parses $content before it is displayed, and if it hits a custom tag for a table, it looks up that content type (e.g. the table), the content itself, merges the two, and then puts it into the main $content before displaying it.
But thats a lot of work and is slow... does anybody know a better way?
