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, if || table mode is enabled.
• WikiSyntax doesn't provide a way to put line breaks in a cell (without causing a new row to appear) without using HTML . If you are allowed to use HTML, do it with the following:
  • Allow HTML (check the box)
  • Instead of a line break, put <br>
  
  Example : ||r1c1l1|r1c2l1<br>r1c2l2||
