Help:Index/Formatting/Tables

This is a Citizendium help page

This help page is meant for help and guidance only. It can be edited by any Citizen and, whilst we try to ensure it is accurate, it may not fully represent current policy.

Tables are created over several lines using the following code:

• Tables are started by putting the symbols {| onto a new line.
• To start a new row put the symbols |- onto a new line.
• To start a new cell put the pipe symbol (|) at the start of a new line, and then type the text of the cell.
• To end a table put the symbols |} onto a new line.

Therefore, the following code...

{|
|-
|Top left cell
|Top middle cell
|Top right cell
|-
|Bottom left cell
|Bottom middle cell
|Bottom right cell
|}

...will create the following table.

Top left cell	Top middle cell	Top right cell
Bottom left cell	Bottom middle cell	Bottom right cell
