Basic markup
Tables are created via use of the double pipe character: ||. Lines beginning with this markup denote the beginning of table rows. Appearance of this character within a line denotes table cells. A border has been added to this table for visual purposes; default border width is 0.
Example 1. Basic table
|| border=1
|| cell 1 || cell 2 || cell 3 ||
|| cell 1 || cell 2 || cell 3 || |
| cell 1 | cell 2 | cell 3 |
| cell 1 | cell 2 | cell 3 |
|
Header cells can be created by placing ! as the first character of a cell:
|| border=1
||! cell 1 ||! cell 2 ||! cell 3 ||
|| cell 1 || cell 2 || cell 3 || |
| cell 1 | cell 2 | cell 3 |
|---|
| cell 1 | cell 2 | cell 3 |
|
This markup does not extend to !!, !!!, etc
Alignment of cell contents
Cell contents may be aligned left, centered, or aligned right.
- To left-align contents, place the cell contents next to the leading
||.
- To center contents, add a space before and after the cell contents.
- To right-align contents, place a space before the cell contents and leave the cell contents next to the trailing
||.
Example 2. Changing alignment of cell contents
|| border=1 width=100%
||!cell 1 ||! cell 2 ||! cell 3||
||left-aligned || centered || right-aligned|| |
| cell 1 | cell 2 | cell 3 |
|---|
| left-aligned | centered | right-aligned |
|
Example 3. Default alignment of cell contents
|| border=1 width=100%
||!cell default||!cell left ||
||default-aligned||left-aligned || |
| cell default | cell left |
|---|
| default-aligned | left-aligned |
|
Notice that the header and detail cells have different defaults.
Example 4. Column spanning
|| border=1 width=100%
|||||| right column ||
|||| middle column ||||
|| left column ||||||
|| left column || middle column || right column ||
|
| right column |
| middle column |
| left column |
| left column | middle column | right column |
|
