[edit] How to create tables in wiki

To create a new table of data, first specify the beginning of the table using { | and the end of the table using | } Each end needs to be on its own line. For example;

 {|
    Information
  |}


You can add caption to the table by adding a | + under the beginning line of the table.

 {|
  |+ Caption goes here
    Information
  |}


You can specify a new table row using | - for the top and bottom of that row. They will need to be on their own lines. For example;

 {|
  |+ Caption goes here
  |- 
    Information
  |-
  |}


To specify a new column on the top row, use the code | | between each column header. For example;

 {|
  |+ Caption goes here
  |- 
    Column 1 || Column 2 || Column 3
  |-
  |}

You can label column headers by using ! at the beginning of the line, in the same manner as | to separate columns.


 {|
  |+ Caption goes here
  |- 
  !  Column 1 !! Column 2 !! Column 3
  |-
  |}
 

Will look like


Caption goes here
Column 1 Column 2 Column 3


To add a row and specify a row header, place a ! at the beginning of the row header line. You can at items to that row by adding a | under that and separating cell items by | |. For example

 {|
  |+ Caption goes here
  |- 
  !  Column 1 !! Column 2 !! Column 3
  |-
  !  Row A
  |  Item A || Item B || Item C
  |-
  !  Row B
  |  Item D || Item E || Item F
  |}

Will look like

Caption goes here
Corner Column 1 Column 2 Column 3
Row A Item A Item B Item C
Row B Item D Item E Item F


Finally, to add a border (or grid) simply add border = "#" on the top line. # is a single digit (not sure what range there is) So

 {| border = "1"
  |+ Caption goes here
  |- 
  !  Column 1 !! Column 2 !! Column 3
  |-
  !  Row A
  |  Item A || Item B || Item C
  |-
  !  Row B
  |  Item D || Item E || Item F
  |}

Will look like

Caption goes here
Corner Column 1 Column 2 Column 3
Row A Item A Item B Item C
Row B Item D Item E Item F
