+        <b>How it works</b>
+        <p>
+          You’ll get the best results from using this tool in the{' '}
+          <b>Visual Editor</b>, although you can still use it to insert tables
+          in the <b>Code Editor</b>. Once you’ve selected the number of rows and
+          columns you need, the table will appear in your document and you can
+          double click in a cell to add contents to it.
+        </p>
+        <b>Customizing tables</b>
+        <p>
+          If you need to customize your table further, you can. Using LaTeX
+          code, you can change anything from table styles and border styles to
+          colors and column widths.{' '}

+        <b>Changing the position of your table</b>

+        <b>Understanding labels</b>
+        <p>
+          Labels help you to reference your tables throughout your document
+          easily. To reference a table within the text, reference the label
+          using the <code>\ref&#123;...&#125;</code> command. This makes it easy
+          to reference tables without manually remembering the table numbering.{' '}
