Introduction

This article is designed to be a How to guide for creating tables using wiki formating.

Creating a Table

  1. '{|' Curly Bracket followed by a Pipe is used to indicate the beginning of a table.
  2. '|' a Pipe is used to indicate the first cell of a table.
  3. '|}' a Pipe followed by a Curly Bracket is used to indicate the end of a table.

Example:

{|

| Text in first cell
|}

 produces: 
Text in first cell

Table Caption

To add a caption for a table, use a Pipe followed by a Plus |+ as the 1st line in the table.

Example:

{|

|+ Table Caption
| Text in first cell
|}

 produces: 
Table Caption
Text in first cell

Add a Border

To add a caption for a table, use a Pipe followed by a Plus |+ as the 1st line in the table.

Example:

{|border="1"

|+ Table Caption
| Text in first cell
|}

 produces: 
Table Caption
Text in first cell

Additional Horizontal Cells

To add additional horizontal cells, place a Pipe | on a new line.

Example (a table with 3 horizontal cells):

{| border="1"

|+ Table Caption
| Cell 1
| Cell 2
| Cell 3
|}

 produces: 
Table Caption
Cell 1 Cell 2 Cell 3

Additional Rows

To add a row, on a new line, add a Pipe followed by a Hyphen |-. Then place a Pipe on the next line for the first cell in the new row.

Example:

{| border="1"

|+ Table Caption
| Row 1, Cell 1
| Row 1, Cell 2
| Row 1, Cell 3
|-
| Row 2, Cell 1
| Row 2, Cell 2
| Row 2, Cell 3
|-
| Row 3, Cell 1
| Row 3, Cell 2
| Row 3, Cell 3
|}

 produces: 
Table Caption
Row 1, Cell 1 Row 1, Cell 2 Row 1, Cell 3
Row 2, Cell 1 Row 2, Cell 2 Row 2, Cell 3
Row 3, Cell 1 Row 3, Cell 2 Row 3, Cell 3

Row and Column Headers

To make a cell a row or column header, use an Exclamation Point ! instead of a Pipe.

Example:

{| border="1"

|+ Table Caption
|
! Column 1 Header
! Column 2 Header
|-
! Row 1 Header
| Row 1, Cell 1
| Row 1, Cell 2
|-
! Row 2 Header
| Row 2, Cell 1
| Row 2, Cell 1
|}

 produces: 
Table Caption
Column 1 Header Column 2 Header
Row 1 Header Row 1, Cell 1 Row 1, Cell 2
Row 2 Header Row 2, Cell 1 Row 2, Cell 2
