== 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: | |||
{| class="wikitable" | |||
! what you want for the cell | |||
! what you do to get it | |||
|- | |||
| left aligned text | |||
| nothing to do | |||
|- | |||
| style="text-align:center;" | centered text | |||
| place <code><nowiki>style="text-align:center;" |</nowiki></code> after the opening pipe | |||
|- | |||
| style="text-align:right;" | right aligned | |||
| place <code><nowiki>style="text-align:center;" |</nowiki></code> 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 <code>style="text-align:center;"</code>) directly at the beginning of the table, right after the <code>class="wikitable"</code> statement. | |||
=== External helper tools === | |||
If you have to construct really complex tables with colspans and rowspans, you may use this online table generator: | |||
[http://www.tablesgenerator.com/mediawiki_tables Generate tables in MediaWiki format - TablesGenerator.com] | |||
For example, this wiki markup | |||
<nowiki> | |||
{| 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 | |||
|}</nowiki> | |||
will be rendered into this table: | |||
{| 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 | |||
