 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * To insert a form, you’ll need to put in the HTML code for a form into a table
   cell. Not that it will not have any functionality then yet.
    You might therefore
   better look for a contact form plugin, for example.

 * That was my first attempt. I actually dropped in a working code from <form> to
   </form>. Do I need more code around that to work then?

 * Hi,
 * yes, you will need a script somewhere that processes the submitted form data,
   i.e. either a script that for example emails the data to you or a script that
   saves the data to a database.
    TablePress can’t to neither of that as such data
   management is not what it was designed for. Sorry.

 * That’s already build into the webform from my autoresponder. When I use it normally,
   I just drop it into the html source code where I want it, and it works from there.

 * Hi,
 * ah, now I see. The problem is the automatic conversion of line breaks that TablePress
   does. To change this behavior, please change the table’s Shortcode on the page
   to
 *     ```
       [table id=2 convert_line_breaks=false /]
       ```
