simple way to include table within an article

Hello All!
I have a project involving a website for real estate company. They need to include a table with specific info about the properties (like number of bathrooms/bedrooms, plot size, have garage or not etc), and users should be able to sort out articles by these fields. Ofcourse, fields should also be showed within article.

I thought about making own write tab for properties, but since i have never had chance to get into making own txp plugins, i thought better to ask you guys first.

So, anybody have ideas what would be the best way to accomplish this? any help strongly appericated!

Does this help?

Displaying custom fields

There are also several speciality plugins that work with outputting custom field content (aam_split_custom_field, sed_pcf, esq_glzcfvallist for example)

Hi Tom

Yes you can. within an article context you can use

<txp:if_custom_field name="roomsnumber">
<txp:custom_field name="roomsnumber" />
</txp:if_custom_field>

or check out Mike’s answer above using plugins:)
