==== Horizontal alignment of column content ==== | |||
Text alignment can be an issue. The table default is cell text being left-alignened, but decimal numbers usually are right-aligned and common fractions center-aligned. | |||
You may add inline [[CSS]] styling to '''each cell''' of the table (i.e. <code>style="text-align: right"</code>), but this is a lot of work, makes the wiki markup confusing, and also makes pages really big which slows down loading. | |||
It's now (by June 2020) possible to define the column alignment '''once in the table header'''. This can be done by adding further classes to the <code>class="wikitable"</code> statement. | |||
For example, write <code>class="wikitable right-1 left-5 center-all"</code> to align the cell text to | |||
* '''right''' in the '''1'''st column, | |||
* '''left''' in the '''5'''th column, and | |||
* '''center''' in '''all''' other columns. | |||
