Can table data tags <td> only contain text? What if i want to put image or any other kind of data inside a cell?

is there a tag that lets you input the data vertically instead of horizontally (tr, /tr tag)?
maybe something like tc, /tc tag?


When I put the apostrophe in the code it does this. How am I suppose to apostrophe?
wdcp-22-learn-html-tables/lessons/html-tables/exercises/table-data

When you type things like ', " , [, { , ( , the Codecademy editor autocompletes the closing character
i.e. '', "" , [], {} , ()

Most times this autocomplete feature is useful, but in some situations it can be undesirable.

When you type in the apostrophe, the autocomplete will add the closing apostrophe. You simply backspace the extra character to delete the extra apostrophe.
