Special needs

Adjusting Text Alignment

The table cells are left aligned by default, the heading cells are center aligned. You may change this via inline CSS style definitions:

what you want for the cell	what you do to get it
left aligned text	nothing to do
centered text	place style="text-align:center;" | after the opening pipe
right aligned	place style="text-align:center;" | after the opening pipe
headline style	exclamation mark instead of the pipe symbol starts the cell

If you want to override the default text alignment for all cells, place the inline CSS (for example style="text-align:center;") directly at the beginning of the table, right after the class="wikitable" statement.

External helper tools

If you have to construct really complex tables with colspans and rowspans, you may use this online table generator:

Generate tables in MediaWiki format - TablesGenerator.com

For example, this wiki markup

{| class="wikitable"
! colspan="3" | 1
! 2
! 3
|-
| rowspan="2" | A
| colspan="3" | B
| C
|-
| rowspan="2" colspan="2" | D
| colspan="2" | E
|-
| F
| G
| H
|}

will be rendered into this table:

1			2	3
A	B			C
	D		E
F			G	H
