{{Wiki Manual}}
----
'' Copied From [http://Wikipedia.org Wikipedia] ''
----
This new table markup, developed by Magnus Manske, replaces the <nowiki><table>, <tr>, <td>, <th>, and <caption></nowiki> HTML tags. The HTML tags can still be used though.

The tags below must start at the beginning of a new line (with one exception). The parameters are optional.

''See also'': [[Wiki markup tables]]

=== Table ===
A table is defined by
<nowiki> {| </nowiki> ''params''
<nowiki> |} </nowiki>
which equals
<table ''params''>
</table>

:''Careful'': You '''must include''' the '''space''' between <code>'''{|'''</code> and <code>''params''</code>, or the first parameter gets ignored.

=== TD ===
Cells are generated either like this:
|cell1
|cell2
|cell3
or like this:
|cell1||cell2||cell3
which both equals
<td>cell1</td><td>cell2</td><td>cell3</td>
so "||" equals "newline"+"|"

Parameters in cells can be used like this:
|''params''|cell1
which will result in
<td ''params''>

=== TH ===
Functions the same way as TD, except "!" is used instead the opening "|". "!!" can be used instead of "||". Parameters still use "|", though!

=== TR ===
<tr> tags will be generated automatically for the first row. To start a new row, use
|-
which results in
<tr>
Parameters can be added like this:
|- ''params''
which results in
<tr ''params''>

Note:
* <tr> tags will be automatically opened at the first <td> equivalent
* <tr> tags will be automatically closed at <tr> and </table> equivalents

=== CAPTION ===
A <caption> tag is created by
|+ Caption
which generates
<caption>Caption</caption>
You can also use parameters:
|+ ''params''|Caption
which will generate
<caption ''params''>Caption

==Examples==

=== Simple example ===

<nowiki> {| </nowiki>
<nowiki> | Cell 1, row 1 </nowiki>
<nowiki> | Cell 2, row 1 </nowiki>
<nowiki> |- </nowiki><br>
<nowiki> | Cell 1, row 2 </nowiki>
<nowiki> | Cell 2, row 2 </nowiki>
<nowiki> |}</nowiki>

''generates''
{|
| Cell 1, row 1
| Cell 2, row 1
|-
| Cell 1, row 2
| Cell 2, row 2
|}

=== Advanced example ===
<nowiki>{| align=right border=1</nowiki>
<nowiki>| Cell 1, row 1 </nowiki>
<nowiki>|rowspan=2| Cell 2, row 1 (and 2) </nowiki>
<nowiki>| Cell 3, row 1 </nowiki>
<nowiki>|- </nowiki>
<nowiki>| Cell 1, row 2 </nowiki>
<nowiki>| Cell 3, row 2 </nowiki>
<nowiki>|}</nowiki>
''Note the floating table to the right.''
{| align=right border=1
| Cell 1, row 1
|rowspan=2| Cell 2, row 1 (and 2)
| Cell 3, row 1
|-
| Cell 1, row 2
| Cell 3, row 2
|}

=== Nested table ===
<nowiki>{| border=1</nowiki>
<nowiki>| blabla</nowiki>
<nowiki>|</nowiki>
<nowiki>{| bgcolor=#ABCDEF border=2</nowiki>
<nowiki>|nested</nowiki>
<nowiki>|-</nowiki>
<nowiki>|table</nowiki>
<nowiki>|}</nowiki>
<nowiki>|the original table again</nowiki>
<nowiki>|}</nowiki>
''gives a nested table''
{| border=1
| blabla
|
{| bgcolor=#ABCDEF border=2
|nested
|-
|table
|}
|the original table again
|}

=== Caption and multi-cell-lines ===
<nowiki>{| border=1</nowiki>
<nowiki>|+ '''This is the caption.''' Example taken from Afghanistan table.</nowiki>
<nowiki>|[[Independence]]||[[August 19]], [[1919]]</nowiki>
<nowiki>|-</nowiki>
<nowiki>|[[Currency]]||[[Afghani]]</nowiki>
<nowiki>|-</nowiki>
<nowiki>|[[Time zone]]||[[UTC]]+4:30</nowiki>
<nowiki>|-</nowiki>
<nowiki>|[[National anthem]]||[[Sououd-e-Melli]]</nowiki>
<nowiki>|-</nowiki>
<nowiki>|[[Top-level domain|Internet TLD]]||.AF</nowiki>
<nowiki>|}</nowiki>
''becomes''
{| border=1
|+ '''This is the caption.''' Example taken from Afghanistan table.
|[[Independence]]||[[August 19]], [[1919]]
|-
|[[Currency]]||[[Afghani]]
|-
|[[Time zone]]||[[UTC]]+4:30
|-
|[[National anthem]]||[[Sououd-e-Melli]]
|-
|[[Top-level domain|Internet TLD]]||.AF
|}

=== Header test ===
<nowiki>{| border=1</nowiki>
<nowiki>! Header1!! Header2</nowiki>
<nowiki>|-</nowiki>
<nowiki>| Cell1|| Cell2</nowiki>
<nowiki>|}</nowiki>

''looks like this''
{| border=1
! Header1!! Header2
|-
| Cell1|| Cell2
|}

== TR test ==
<nowiki>{|</nowiki>
<nowiki>| cell1 || cell2</nowiki>
<nowiki>|- bgcolor=#abcdef</nowiki>
<nowiki>| cell3 || cell4</nowiki>
<nowiki>|}</nowiki>
''makes''
{|
| cell1 || cell2
|- bgcolor=#abcdef
| cell3 || cell4
|}

=== Test for rows with mixed headers and body text ===

<nowiki>{| border=1 cellspacing=0</nowiki>
<nowiki>! </nowiki>
<nowiki>! col Header1 </nowiki>
<nowiki>! ch2 </nowiki>
<nowiki>|-</nowiki>
<nowiki>! row header 3</nowiki>
<nowiki>| abc def ghi </nowiki>
<nowiki>| gchf ghh dfgh</nowiki>
<nowiki>|-</nowiki>
<nowiki>! RH 4</nowiki>
<nowiki>| gfbb gbgbds </nowiki>
<nowiki>| dfgsdsdg</nowiki>
<nowiki>|}</nowiki>

''makes''

{| border=1 cellspacing=0
!
! col Header1
! ch2
|-
! row header 3
| abc def ghi
| gchf ghh dfgh
|-
! RH 4
| gfbb gbgbds
| dfgsdsdg
|}

'''but:'''

<nowiki>{| border=1 cellspacing=0</nowiki>
<nowiki>! &nbsp; !! col Header1 !! ch2 </nowiki>
<nowiki>|-</nowiki>
<nowiki>! row header 3 || abc def ghi || gchf ghh dfgh</nowiki>
<nowiki>|-</nowiki>
<nowiki>! RH 4 || gfbb gbgbds || dfgsdsdg</nowiki>
<nowiki>|-</nowiki>
<nowiki>! RH 5 || || </nowiki>
<nowiki>|}</nowiki>

''makes''

{| border=1 cellspacing=0
!   !! col Header1 !! ch2
|-
! row header 3 || abc def ghi || gchf ghh dfgh
|-
! RH 4 || gfbb gbgbds || dfgsdsdg
|-
! RH 5 || ||
|}
