User:WikiWriter/Tables

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The MediaWiki markup can be quite confusing, but simply thinking of a table as a big coloured rectangles, with smaller coloured rectangles on to simpifies the use of MediaWiki markup to create tables.

Simple (white-cells on black-background)

Header 1 Header 2 Header 3
(top-left) (top-centre) (top-right)
(middle-left) (middle-centre) (middle-right)
(bottom-left) (bottom-centre) (bottom-right)

Created by :

{| style="width:100%; background:black;"
<!-- first row -->
|- style="background:white;"
! Header 1
! Header 2
! Header 3
<!-- 2nd row -->
|- style="background:white;"
| (top-left) || (top-centre) || (top-right)
<!-- 3rd row -->
|- style="background:white;"
| (middle-left) || (middle-centre) || (middle-right)
<!-- 4th row -->
|- style="background:white;"
| (bottom-left) || (bottom-centre) || (bottom-right)
|}

As above (with centred cell-content)

Header 1 Header 2 Header 3
(top-left) (top-centre) (top-right)
(middle-left) (middle-centre) (middle-right)
(bottom-left) (bottom-centre) (bottom-right)

Created by :

{| style="width:100%; background:black; text-align:center;"
<!-- first row -->
|- style="background:white;"
! Header 1
! Header 2
! Header 3
<!-- 2nd row -->
|- style="background:white;"
| (top-left) || (top-centre) || (top-right)
<!-- 3rd row -->
|- style="background:white;"
| (middle-left) || (middle-centre) || (middle-right)
<!-- 4th row -->
|- style="background:white;"
| (bottom-left) || (bottom-centre) || (bottom-right)
|}

As above (with larger text)

[edit]
Header 1 Header 2 Header 3
(top-left) (top-centre) (top-right)
(middle-left) (middle-centre) (middle-right)
(bottom-left) (bottom-centre) (bottom-right)

Created by :

{| style="width:100%; background:black; text-align:center; font-size:12pt; line-height:20px;"
<!-- first row -->
|- style="background:white; font-size:14pt; line-height:24px;"
! Header 1
! Header 2
! Header 3
<!-- 2nd row -->
|- style="background:white;"
| (top-left) || (top-centre) || (top-right)
<!-- 3rd row -->
|- style="background:white;"
| (middle-left) || (middle-centre) || (middle-right)
<!-- 4th row -->
|- style="background:white;"
| (bottom-left) || (bottom-centre) || (bottom-right)
|}

Note : Line-one of the markup sets the default font-size, and line-height values for the whole table. These values are overridden for the header-row only by the values set in the third-line.

Right-floating 'quick links'

[edit]

The following works best as a template :

<div style="width:150px; position:relative; float:right; top:-35px; background:lightgray;">
<div style="width:148px; height:22px; text-align:center; background:#EFF3FF; margin:1px; color:#293C6B;">'''Projects'''</div>
<div style="width:148px; height:80px; text-align:center; background:white; margin:1px; color:#293C6B;">[[User:WikiWriter|'''WikiWriter''']]<br>[[User:WikiWriter/Sandbox|'''Sandbox''']]<br>[[User:WikiWriter/Wikimarkup|'''Wiki Markup''']]</div>
</div>

Simple - coloured background
