It would be helpful to have support in the StoryMaps editor for creating simple tables. Perhaps a "Table" block type could be added?
Example uses cases include:
- a pro/con list for something (2-columns)
- a comparison list with a column for the topic and a couple or a few columns for the items being compared (3- or 4-columns)
- presenting summary statistics (or other geoprocessing output that is produced as a table with a column of labels and column of values)
- situations where one might use a two-column slide layout in PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Keynote
This would be for creating simple tables, with not too many columns, the possibility of a header row, something that could be rendered responsively for different screen orientations/resolutions, a simple interface for initially creating/sizing the table (like when inserting a table in a PowerPoint or Slides), etc.
(Another idea, HTML and CSS code, seems much broader, but is perhaps related, as folks suggest one of the use cases for adding custom HTML/CSS would be to create tables in a story.)
