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 | ||
