OrthodoxWiki supports different types of '''table''' syntax:
#XHTML
#HTML and wiki <nowiki><td></nowiki> syntax
#pipe-syntax

All three are supported and create valid HTML output.

See also [[Help:HTML element#Tables|HTML element#Tables]]. Note however that the <code>thead</code>, <code>tbody</code>, <code>tfoot</code>, and <code>colgroup</code> elements are currently not [[Html#Permitted_HTML|supported in MediaWiki]].

==Guide to the pipe syntax==
The pipe syntax, developed by [[User: Magnus Manske| Magnus Manske]], substitutes pipes (<nowiki>|</nowiki>) for HTML. There is an [http://www.uni-bonn.de/~manfear/html2wiki-tables.php on-line script] which converts html tables to pipe syntax tables.

The pipes must start at the beginning of a new line, except when separating parameters from content or when using <code>||</code> to separate cells on a single line. The parameters are optional.

===Tables===
A table is defined by
<nowiki>
{| ''params''
|}
</nowiki>
which equals
<nowiki>
<table ''params''>Insert non-formatted text here
</table>
</nowiki>

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

===Rows===
<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

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

Parameters in cells can be used like this:
|''params''|cell1||''params''|cell2||''params''|cell3
which will result in
<td ''params''>

===Headers===
Functions the same way as TD, except "!" is used instead of the opening "|". "!!" can be used instead of "||". Parameters still use "|", though! Example:
<nowiki>!</nowiki>''params''|cell1

===Captions===
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

==Some examples==

===Multiplication table===

====Source code====
<blockquote style="background: white; border: 1px solid black; padding: 1em;">
<pre><nowiki>
{| border="1" cellpadding="2"
|+Multiplication table
|-
! &times; !! 1 !! 2 !! 3
|-
! 1
| 1 || 2 || 3
|-
! 2
| 2 || 4 || 6
|-
! 3
| 3 || 6 || 9
|-
! 4
| 4 || 8 || 12
|-
! 5
| 5 || 10 || 15
|}
</nowiki></pre>
</blockquote>

====Appearance====
<blockquote style="background: white; border: 1px solid black; padding: 1em;">
{| border="1" cellpadding="2"
|+Multiplication table
|-
! × !! 1 !! 2 !! 3
|-
! 1
| 1 || 2 || 3
|-
! 2
| 2 || 4 || 6
|-
! 3
| 3 || 6 || 9
|-
! 4
| 4 || 8 || 12
|-
! 5
| 5 || 10 || 15
|}
</blockquote>

====Notes====
* The entire table begins with <code>{|</code> and ends with the required <code>|}</code>.
* A '''caption''' is a succinct way to describe your table, and can be included with <code>|+</code> on the line after <code>{|</code>.
* '''Table rows''' are horizontal groups of cells in the table. A row begins with <code>|-</code> and ends at the next row.
* '''Table headings''' are cells with headings in them, and are often rendered in a bold font. They begin with <code>!</code>. Note that parameters are still separated from the actual content of the cell with <code>|</code>, however
* '''Table data''' cells fill out the rest of the table. A cell begins with <code>|</code> or <code>||</code> and ends at the next cell.

Each row must have the same number of cells as the other rows, so that the number of columns in the table remains consistent (unless there are cells which span several columns or rows, but this is not discussed here). For empty cells, use the non-breaking space <code>&nbsp;</code> as content to ensure that the cells are displayed.

===Mélange===
Here's a more advanced example, showing some more options available for making up tables. You can play with these settings in your own table to see what effect they have. Not all of these techniques may be appropriate in all cases; just because you can add colored backgrounds, for example, doesn't mean it's always a good idea. Try to keep the markup in your tables relatively simple -- remember, other people are going to be editing the article too! This example should give you an idea of what is possible, though.

=== Simple example ===
<pre>
{|
| Cell 1, row 1
| Cell 2, row 1
|-
| Cell 1, row 2
| Cell 2, row 2
|}
</pre>

generates

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

=== Advanced example ===
<pre>
{| 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
|}
</pre>
{| 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.

<br clear="both" />

=== Nested table ===
<pre>
{| border=1
| &alpha;
|
{| bgcolor=#ABCDEF border=2
|nested
|-
|table
|}
|the original table again
|}
</pre>

gives a nested table

{| border=1
| α
|
{| bgcolor=#ABCDEF border=2
| nested
|-
|table
|}
|the original table again
|}

'''Nested tables have to start on a new line.'''

==Text next to a table==

You can use align=right, text after the table code appears to the left of the table. However, do not put preformatted text, it may overlap the table because it does not wrap.

{| border="1" cellpadding="2" align=right
|+Multiplication table
|-
! × !! 1 !! 2 !! 3
|-
! 1
| 1 || 2 || 3
|-
! 2
| 2 || 4 || 6
|-
! 3
| 3 || 6 || 9
|-
! 4
| 4 || 8 || 12
|-
! 5
| 5 || 10 || 15
|}
text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text

To prevent this, use <nowiki><br style="clear:both;"></nowiki>:

{| border="1" cellpadding="2" align=right
|+Multiplication table
|-
! × !! 1 !! 2 !! 3
|-
! 1
| 1 || 2 || 3
|-
! 2
| 2 || 4 || 6
|-
! 3
| 3 || 6 || 9
|-
! 4
| 4 || 8 || 12
|-
! 5
| 5 || 10 || 15
|}

text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text <br style="clear:both;">
text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text

==Decimal point alignment==

A method to get columns of numbers aligned at the decimal point is as follows:

<pre><blockquote>
{| cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0
|align=right| 432 || . || 1
|-
|align=right| 43 || . || 21
|-
|align=right| 4 || . || 321
|}
</blockquote></pre>

gives

<blockquote>
{| cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0
|align=right| 432 || . || 1
|-
|align=right| 43 || . || 21
|-
|align=right| 4 || . || 321
|}
</blockquote>

In simple cases one can dispense with the table feature and simply start the lines with a space, and put spaces to position the numbers:

432.1
43.21
4.321
