I am getting into homebrew and DND Beyond is pretty good at supporting homebrewed content, but I find it really annoying when I have to put a table in an item's description, because I have to find the source code for a table (usually from the Apparatus of the Crab), then edit it so it fits, and it would just be so much easier and better if there was just a button to add a table in, especially considering how many other homebrewers I see giving up and just using line breaks to signify a table, which looks much sloppier and is also pretty inefficient
If you guys use chrome it may be helpful take a look at beyond help chrome extension. It adds an extra button on DDB editors that allows adding two column tables based on dice rolls.
I looked at it and it seems helpful in general, but the tables they have only allow dice rolls and (this may be me getting picky) they don't really look like the official ones. Plus I would prefer to not to only be able to make tables on my laptop. Nevertheless, thanks for the suggestion!

Yes unfortunately for now there is the table type limitation.
Do you have an official example table that differs in style from the ones created by extension? Probably there is a table style I am not aware of.
And here is the official table (from Apparatus of the Crab)
Lever
Up
Down
1
Legs and tail extend, allowing the apparatus to walk and swim.
Legs and tail retract, reducing the apparatus's speed to 0 and making it unable to benefit from bonuses to speed.
2
Forward window shutter opens.
Forward window shutter closes.
3
Side window shutters open (two per side).
Side window shutters close (two per side).
Actually I realize now the "add row" function of the extension, which makes it pretty close to the original, so it's pretty good. However, my point still stands that an official button would be greatly preferable, s you can only get the fan-made button on a chrome extension.

Thanks for the tip, but I'm almost always on mobile.

Ok, for reference here is the extension's table:
