Add a table
| Heading 1 | Heading 2 | Heading 3 |
|---|---|---|
| Row 1 Col 1 | Row 1 Col 2 | Row 1 Col 3 |
| Row 2 Col 1 | some colspan (note the double pipe) | |
| Row 3 Col 1 | Row 2 Col 2 | Row 2 Col 3 |
Table rows have to start and end with a | for normal rows or a ^ for headers.
^ Heading 1 ^ Heading 2 ^ Heading 3 ^ | Row 1 Col 1 | Row 1 Col 2 | Row 1 Col 3 | | Row 2 Col 1 | some colspan (note the double pipe) || | Row 3 Col 1 | Row 2 Col 2 | Row 2 Col 3 |
To connect cells horizontally, just make the next cell completely empty as shown above. Be sure to have always the same amount of cell separators!
Vertical tableheaders are possible, too.
| Heading 1 | Heading 2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Heading 3 | Row 1 Col 2 | Row 1 Col 3 |
| Heading 4 | no colspan this time | |
| Heading 5 | Row 2 Col 2 | Row 2 Col 3 |
As you can see, it is the cell separator before a cell which decides about the formatting:
| ^ Heading 1 ^ Heading 2 ^ ^ Heading 3 | Row 1 Col 2 | Row 1 Col 3 | ^ Heading 4 | no colspan this time | | ^ Heading 5 | Row 2 Col 2 | Row 2 Col 3 |
Note: Vertical spans (rowspan) are not possible.
You can align the table contents, too. Just add at least two whitespaces at the opposite end of your text: Add two spaces on the left to align right, two spaces on the right to align left and two spaces at least at both ends for centered text.
| Table with alignment | ||
|---|---|---|
| right | center | left |
| left | right | center |
| xxxxxxxxxxxx | xxxxxxxxxxxx | xxxxxxxxxxxx |
This is how it looks in the source:
