Describe the feature you'd like

Apologies if this is a feature and I've just not figured it out, but please could we get the ability to add tables side by side in a page? Similar to how we can have pictures side by side.

Describe the benefits this feature would bring to BookStack users

It would save a lot of page space/scrolling for pages that contain numerous tables of information. Especially if said tables are only 2/3 columns at best.

Additional context

Thanks for the suggestion @patsyk1, but I'm going to close this off for the following reasons:

  • There has been little additional demand for this feature.
  • Tables are already limited in flexibility, which allowing use within more complex layouts would only exacerbate.
  • I'd prefer not to complicate the core content layout capabilities where possible, to keep content as portable where possible.
