Conditionals and outputting tables

Question

Need a hand on a conditional to see if my table has any data, and if it does, output the table. The second thing I need help is the code to output the table. When I look at tutorials, they always seem to output the table as an HTML list. Like:

   {% if block.codePoints | length %}
    <ul>
    {% for row in block.codePoints %}
         {# Assuming 'text' is the column handle of the text field #}
        <li>{{ row.text }}</li> 
    {% endfor %}
    </ul>
{% endif %}

I can't find an example of:

<table>
<tr><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr>
</table>

Thanks.

Assuming your example code, something along these lines will help...

{% if entry.yourTable | length %}
    <table>
    {% for row in entry.yourTable %}
    <tr>
       <td>{{ row.column1 }}</td><td>{{ row.column2 }}</td><td>{{ row.column3 }}</td>
    </tr> 
    {% endfor %}
    </table>
{% endif %}
