Overview

In this subsection we cover creation of wiki tables

Syntax	You get	Explanation
Syntax for a simple wiki table with two rows and two cells is given below: {| class="wikitable" |- ! header 1 ! header 2 |- | row 1, cell 1 | row 1, cell 2 |}	header 1 header 2 row 1, cell 1 row 1, cell 2	Here the pipe (vertical bar) codes function exactly the same as HTML table markup. The code |- marks the rows and | marks the Column. A row of column headings is identified by using "!" . The entire table is encased with curly brackets { }and a vertical bar character, | (a pipe). So use {| to begin a table, and |} to end it. Each one needs to be on its own line, as seen below: {| table code goes here |}
