Template:Table/documentation

=Template Documentation=

This template contains table formats that can be applied to any existing table in ReliaWiki. It does not automatically create a table for you; rather it ensures that any table where the template is transcluded into will have consistent looking borders, cell padding, header shading and text alignment. (If you don't know how to create a table, see the Notes section below.)

Here is an example of what a generic table looks like when you use this template.

Usage
To use this template, type the code   next to the table's opening brackets, where XX is the desired table width. If you do not specify a table width, the table will auto-adjust to fit the contents &mdash; this may be just right or too crowded, depending on the content. For example, below is the code for the example table shown above.

Custom Formatting

Below are some examples of formatting a table. For more examples, see the tutorial at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tables.
