There are two ways to construct tables in the wiki :
1.Particular formatting style with { and | in "wiki text"
{| border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" |+ The table's caption ! Column heading 1 !! Column heading 2 !! Column heading 3 |- |Cell 1 || Cell 2 || Cell 3 |- | Row heading A |Cell B |Cell C |}
Column heading 1 | Column heading 2 | Column heading 3 |
---|---|---|
Row heading 1 | Cell 2 | Cell 3 |
Row heading A | Cell B | Cell C |
2.the wiki also understands html code for tables (i.e.
tags) if you prefer that. The help page for mediawiki that explains which html tags and the brackets is here. <table> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>2</td> </tr> <tr> <td>3</td> <td>4</td> </tr> <tr> <td>5</td> <td>6</td> </tr> </table>1 | 2 |
3 | 4 |
5 | 6 |
