Once you have your properties selected, click "OK" to create the table. This prompts a window in which you can insert the desired properties of your table. The first button lets you create the table itself. These buttons let you create and manipulate a table, which you can then insert text into. The Video BBCode looks like this when unparsed: The Video BBCode takes the URL to a youtube as its value and embeds that video onto the forum.

Anything after this tag will then be the items text. In its value you have to type to indicate a new item in the list. Without an option, this BBCode is instead a bulleted list.
