Course.Cafe provides several approaches for including tables in content. That said, it may be a challenge to get the formatting just right. So you might have to tweak and experiment to get things to appear more desirable.

Editing toolbar table creation tool

There is a table creation tool in the text editing tools toolbar. If that tool is insufficient, you can enter HTML and CSS in using the Edit tab. Below is an example of a table created by the Table tool.
Various Edible Plants
Type Variety Color
Fruit Banana Yellow
Vegetable Eggplant Purple

Table short code

You can also use [table]…[/table] short codes, with values in between, e.g.

[table]
Year,Make,Model,Length
1997,Ford,E350,2.34
2000,Mercury,Cougar,2.38
[/table]

which will produce a table such as:

Year Make Model Length
1997 Ford E350 2.34
2000 Mercury Cougar 2.38

Creating a table with HTML and CSS

You can enter the Text mode and use HTML and CSS to manually create a table. An example of an HTML and CSS table is:

Year Make Model Length
1997 Ford E350 2.34
2000 Mercury Cougar 2.38
