---|---|---|
row 1 | a | b |
row 2 | c | d |
useful codes for tables
- class="wikitable sortable" (makes a table sortable; to make a table sortable, the row header lines should start with "!" rather than "|")
- style="text-align:center;" (horizontal alignment; standard is left; use right for columns with numbers)
- valign="top" (vertical alignment: top of the cell; standard is centered)
- style="float: right;" (creates a table at the right of the page, with text continuing at the left)
- colspan="2" (combines two horizontally adjacent cells into one)
- rowspan="2" (combines two vertically adjacent cells into one)
