! Wiki-Syntax Tables !!Creating Tables with Wiki Syntax Tables are often needed for organizing data information. Tiki has a simple syntax for defining a table. In Wiki pages and other contexts that support Wiki formatting (including ((Articles)), ((Forums)), and ((Blog))), you can create simple tables. A table can be entered using two alternative delimiters (separators) for the rows; your administrator chooses which one is enabled. Both use the pipe symbol (or a vertical bar "|", above the "\" on most PC keyboards) to separate table columns. A double pipe (~np~"||"~/np~) starts and ends the table in both types of syntax. If -+~np~||~/np~+- is the row delimiter, then table rows are separated by double pipes (~np~"||"~/np~), just as at the beginning and the end of a table: {CODE(colors=n)}||row1-column1|row1-column2||row2-column1|row2-column2||{CODE} produces: ||row1-column1|row1-column2 row2-column1|row2-column2|| If, on the other hand, a newline is the row delimiter, then each line in the Wiki box represents a row in the table. So, {CODE()}||row1-column1|row1-column2 row2-column1|row2-column2||{CODE} produces the same table: ||row1-column1|row1-column2 row2-column1|row2-column2|| --- !!Spanning Across Columns You can span across multiple columns (colspan) in a row with the following syntax: ~np~||row1-column1|row1-column2|row1-column3||row2-columns123||row3-column1|row3-columns23||~/np~ or ~np~||row1-column1|row1-column2|row1-column3~/np~ ~np~row2-columns123~/np~ ~np~row3-column1|row3-columns23||~/np~ produces ||row1-column1|row1-column2|row1-column3 row2-columns123 row3-column1|row3-columns23|| Note that partial column spanning only occurs in the last columns of a table. For instance, there is no way to span across the first two columns of a three column table. --- !!!Fancytable Use ((PluginFancytable)) to create sortable and good looking tables. Code~hs~: {CODE()}{FANCYTABLE(head="row1-column1|row1-column2")} row2-column1|row2-column2 {FANCYTABLE}{CODE} Produces~hs~: {FANCYTABLE(head="row1-column1|row1-column2")} row2-column1|row2-column2 {FANCYTABLE} !!Line Breaks If you need to have multiple rows in a single cell of a table, use three percent signs to create line breaks, like this: ~np~||Sample Table~/np~ ~np~row1-col1|row1-col2%%%second line%%%third line|row1-col3~/np~ ~np~row2-col1|row2-col2|row2-col3%%%second line||~/np~ produces: ||Sample Table row1-col1|row1-col2%%%second line%%%third line|row1-col3 row2-col1|row2-col2|row2-col3%%%second line|| --- !!Centering Table Text To center any text, including text in a table, use two colons before and two colons after: ~np~::This text is centered.::~/np~ produces: ::This text is centered.:: ~np~||::Sample Table::~/np~ ~np~row1-col1|row1-col2~/np~ ~np~row2-col1|row2-col2||~/np~ produces: ||::Sample Table:: row1-col1|row1-col2 row2-col1|row2-col2|| --- !!Positioning tables in a page !!!Centered Tables Use ((plugincenter)). Code~hs~: {CODE()}{CENTER()}||Sample Table row1-col1|row1-col2 row2-col1|row2-col2||{CENTER}{CODE} Produces~hs~: {CENTER()}||Sample Table row1-col1|row1-col2 row2-col1|row2-col2||{CENTER} !!!~np~Right-Aligned~/np~ Tables If you need to right-align a table itself, you must use a DIV structure, and you must use both the align and float commands, or IE users won't see it aligned correctly. Use this: ~np~{DIV(class=>class, type=>div, align=>right, float=>right)}||::Sample Table::~/np~ ~np~row1-col1|row1-col2~/np~ ~np~row2-col1|row2-col2||{DIV}~/np~ to produce: {DIV(class=>class, type=>div, align=>right, float=>right)}||::Sample Table:: row1-col1|row1-col2 row2-col1|row2-col2||{DIV} %clear% !! Help & Hints * If you see the WikiSyntax for your table instead of your table, check for newlines. Pressing Enter in the middle of a table will cause the table to break up, if ~np~||~/np~ table mode is enabled. !!
