Basic markup

Tables are created via use of the double pipe character: ||. Lines beginning with this markup denote the beginning of table rows. Appearance of this character within a line denotes table cells. A border has been added to this table for visual purposes; default border width is 0.

Example 1. Basic table.

This markup:

    || border=1
    || cell 1 || cell 2 || cell 3 ||
    || cell 1 || cell 2 || cell 3 ||

creates this table:

cell 1	cell 2	cell 3
cell 1	cell 2	cell 3

Alignment of cell contents

Cell contents may be aligned left, centered, or aligned right.

• To left-align contents, place the cell contents next to the leading ||.
• To center contents, add a space before and after the cell contents.
• To right-align contents, place a space before the cell contents and leave the cell contents next to the trailing ||.

Example 2. Changing alignment of cell contents.

This markup:

    || border=1 width=100%
    ||cell 1       || cell 2   ||        cell 3||
    ||left-aligned || centered || right-aligned||

creates this table:

cell 1	cell 2	cell 3
left-aligned	centered	right-aligned
