History: WikiTables

In Wiki pages and other contexts that support Wiki formatting (including articles, forums, and blogs), you can create simple tables. A table can be entered using two alternative syntaxes; your administrator chooses which one is enabled.

Quick Reference

|| as delimiter (default)

 
   ||row1-column1|row1-column2||row2-column1|row2-column2|| 

newline as delimiter

   ||row1-column1|row1-column2

     row2-column1|row2-column2|| 

Result:

Spanning Across Columns

You can span across multiple columns (colspan) in a row with the following syntax:

||row1-column1|row1-column2|row1-column3||row2-columns123||row3-column1|row3-columns23||

Result:

Note that partial colspanning only occurs in the last columns of a table. For instance, there is no way to span across the first two columns of a three column table.

Help!

• If you see the WikiSyntax for your table instead of your table, check for newlines. Pressing Enter in the middle of a table will cause the table to break up, unless newline table mode is enabled.
• If you want to create a cell with more text with linebreaks you must do the following:
  • setup || as new row delimiter in admin->wiki
  • create/edit a page and allow HTML (check the box)
  • create/edit the table in ONE STREAM (without any linebreak, cr/lf or something)
  • then insert at the positions you need a <BR>, this will break the lines inside the cell
  • IMPORTANT: the whole table must be A STREAM (one long line)
