Wiki Table Tips
How to make a pretty table that's easy to edit (open up the edit window to see the formatting):
{|class="wikitable" style="background:#ffffff; text-align: center" |- style="border-bottom:3px solid #CCCCFF" ! Column1 Name !! Column2 Name !! Column3 Name |- | 1a || 2a || 3a |- | 1b || 2b || 3b |}
It looks like this:
Column1 Name | Column2 Name | Column3 Name |
---|---|---|
1a | 2a | 3a |
1b | 2b | 3b |
And make it sortable:
{|class="wikitable sortable" style="background:#ffffff; text-align: center" |- style="border-bottom:3px solid #CCCCFF" ! Column1 Name !! Column2 Name !! Column3 Name |- | 1a || 2a || 3a |- | 1b || 2b || 3b |}
Example:
Column1 Name | Column2 Name | Column3 Name |
---|---|---|
1a | 2a | 3a |
1b | 2b | 3b |
And to remove the special first row formatting:
{|class="wikitable sortable" style="background:#ffffff; text-align: center" |- style="border-bottom:3px solid #CCCCFF" | Column1 Name || Column2 Name || Column3 Name |- | 1a || 2a || 3a |- | 1b || 2b || 3b |}
Example:
Column1 Name | Column2 Name | Column3 Name |
1a | 2a | 3a |
1b | 2b | 3b |
