The following shows you 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 appropriately:

{|
|+ This is the caption for my table.
|-
! These !! are !! my !! table !! headers
|-
| These || are || my || regular || cells
|}

Table classes

Add class="wikitable" right after the start of the table to apply the appropriate wiki styling:

{| class="wikitable"

Some additional table classes that can be added are:

  • sortable - Adds JavaScript sorting to the table headers.
  • scrollable - Adds horizontal scrolling to extra-wide tables.
  • autoresize - Automatically downscales table images as needed.

Multiple classes are simply separated by a space. For example:

{| class="wikitable sortable"

Example table
