## Discussion

Discussion To add a table with HTML data, create a component with a role of htmltable. The required html property holds all the data and tags for an HTML table. Example {   "components": [     {       "role": "htmltable",       "html": "<table><tr><th>Name</th><th>Occupation</th></tr><tr><td><strong>Grace Hopper</strong></td><td>Computer Scientist</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Amelia Earhart</strong></td><td>Pilot</td></tr></table>",       "style": {         "tableStyle": {           "rows": {             "backgroundColor": "#fff",             "conditional": [               {                 "selectors": [                   {                     "odd": true                   }                 ],                 "backgroundColor": "#f7f7f7"               }             ]           }         }       }     }   ] }
