1.2 Tables
Here's an example of a basic table:
| r1c1 | r1c2 |
| r2c1 | r2c2 |
| r3c1 | r3c2 |
For a cleaner look, add the class="wikitable" tag:
| r1c1 | r1c2 |
| r2c1 | r2c2 |
| r3c1 | r3c2 |
This table looks just like the previous, but uses a slightly different markup style:
| r1c1 | r1c2 |
| r2c1 | r2c2 |
| r3c1 | r3c2 |
To add headers to your table, use the ! symbol:
| Col 1 | Col 2 | Col 3 |
|---|---|---|
| r1c1 | r1c2 | r1c3 |
| r2c1 | r2c2 | r2c3 |
| r3c1 | r3c2 | r3c3 |
To add cells that span columns, use the colspan attribute:
| Table header | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Col 1 | Col 2 | Col 3 | Col 4 |
| r1c1 | r1c2 | r1c3 | r1c4 |
| r2c1 | r2c2 | r2c3 | r2c4 |
| r3c1 | r3c2 | subheader | |
| r4c1 | r4c2 | r4c3 | r4c4 |
A handy Comma Separated Variable (CSV) to Wiki Table translator is available here: http://area23.brightbyte.de/csv2wp.php
Reference other sections of the wiki like this -> Beginner's Notes
To create a new page, add a reference to a non-existent page like this -> Non-existent page. Save the page with the reference and simply double-click the new link to open/create the new page.
To include a file in a page, use a link in one of the following forms:
[[Image:File.jpg]] to use the full version of the file [[Image:File.png|200px|thumb|left|alt text]] to use a 200 pixel wide rendition in a box in the left margin with 'alt text' as description [[Media:File.ogg]] for directly linking to the file without displaying the file
