Help:Table

Here's how to create a table:

Code
To create a table, you will first need to understand what the symbols mean:


 *  {|  - Signifies the start of a table.
 *  |}  - Signifies the end of a table.
 *  |+  - Signifies the caption of a table; what text will appear above it, labeling it.
 *  |-  - Signifies the start of a table row.
 *  |  - Signifies the start of a regular table cell.
 *  !  - Signifies the start of a header table cell. The text within a header cell is boldfaced.
 *  ||  - Signifies the switch to a new cell within a row.
 *  !!  - Signifies the switch to a new header cell within a row.

Usage
Here is how you would use these symbols appropriatly:

Styling
To modify a specific cell, a row, or the entire table, you would use the style attribute:

Placing the style attribute after the {| symbol alters the entire table: {| style="font-family: (a font family);border: (a thickness)" Placing the style attribute after the |+ symbol alters the table's caption. Use the pipe symbol to divide it from the text: Placing the style attribute after the |- symbol alters the entire row that follows it: Placing the style attribute after the | symbol alters a single cell. Use the pipe symbol to divide it from the text: Please note that styling a single cell has the most precedence. This means that if you style the table's background red, and style a single cell black, the single cell will appear black, rather than red.
 * + style="font-family: (a font family);color: (# a color)" | This is the caption for my table.
 * - style="font-family: (a font family);color: (# a color)"
 * style="font-family: (a font family);color: (# a color)" | These || are || my || regular || cells
