__NOTOC__
This new table markup, developed by [[User: Magnus Manske| Magnus Manske]], replaces the <nowiki><table>, <tr>, <td>, <th>, and <caption></nowiki> HTML tags.


[[Category:Editor handbook{{#translation:}}]]
The tags below must start at the beginning of a new line (with one exception). The parameters are optional.

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

=== Table ===
A table is defined by
{| ''params''
|}
which equals
<table ''params''&gt;
</table&gt;

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

Parameters in cells can be use like this:
|''params''|cell1
which will result in
<td ''params''&gt;

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

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

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

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


==Examples==

=== Simple example ===
{|
| Cell 1, row 1
| Cell 2, row 1
|-
| Cell 1, row 2
| Cell 2, row 2
|}
generates
{|
| Cell 1, row 1
| Cell 2, row 1
|-
| Cell 1, row 2
| Cell 2, row 2
|}


=== Advanced example ===
{| 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
|}
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 ===
{| border=1
| blabla
|
{| bgcolor=#ABCDEF border=2
|nested
|-
|table
|}
|the original table again
|}
gives a nested table
{| border=1
| blabla
|
{| bgcolor=#ABCDEF border=2
|nested
|-

|table
|}
|the original table again
|}

=== Caption and multi-cell-lines ===
{| border=1 align=right
|+ '''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
|}
<nowiki>{| border=1 align=right</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>
is shown on the right.


=== Header test ===
{| border=1
! Header1!! Header2
|-
| Cell1|| Cell2
|}

made by
{| border=1
! Header1!! Header2
|-
| Cell1|| Cell2
|}


== TR test ==
{|
| cell1 || cell2
|- bgcolor=#abcdef
| cell3 || cell4
|}
makes
{|
| cell1 || cell2
|- bgcolor=#abcdef
| cell3 || cell4
|}

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

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

'''makes:'''

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

'''but:'''

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

'''makes:'''

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