Usage notes

This plugin doesn't support things like templates or the !row heading syntax. Column styling overcomes the latter to a degree but, for cross-browser consistency, you are limited by HTML to border= , background= , width= and visibility= . You can also use span= so that a col definition can apply to adjacent columns. tr and td styling overrides col .

Structure of data

  • Optionally, first line (prior to the first | ) contains html attributes for the table element.
  • Optionally, next line can specify a caption; line starts with |+ followed by optional html attributes that end with a | followed by the caption text.
  • Optionally, html attributes for col elements can be specified next on one or more lines starting with a ?
  • Each column's attributes start on a new line with ? or on the same line preceded by ?? and become a col
  • Optionally, column headings can be specified next on one or more lines starting with a !
  • Each column's heading starts on a new line with ! or on the same line preceded by !!
  • Optional html attributes for th end with a | followed by text that becomes the text of a th
  • Each row, including the first, starts on a new line with |- , optionally followed by html attributes for the tr element
  • Each cell starts on a new line with | or on the same line preceded by ||
  • Optional html attributes for the td element end with a | followed by the cell text (so data for one cell can have 1 or 2 | characters. Any other | characters are assumed to be part of the cell text.)

Examples

Basic syntax:

Copy to clipboard
{MWTABLE(fancy="" wiki_classes="")}data{MWTABLE}

The minimum

This code:

Copy to clipboard
{MWTABLE()} |- | Bill || The little house |- | Carol || The big house {MWTABLE}


Would produce:

Copy to clipboard
<table class="wikitable"> <tr> <td class="wikicell">Bill</td> <td class="wikicell">The little house</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="wikicell">Carol</td> <td class="wikicell">The big house</td> </tr> </table>


As a reference, under tikineat.css style, it shows as:

Include styling

This code:

Copy to clipboard
{MWTABLE( wiki_classes="false")} style="width:50%", class="myclass" |+style="font-style:italic;"|My caption ? width="30%;" ?? style="background-color:yellow;" ! style="background-color:grey;"| Name ! Address |- style="background-color: red" | style="color: blue;" | Bill | The little house |- | Carol || The big house {MWTABLE}


Would produce:

Copy to clipboard
<table style="width:50%;" class="normal myclass"> <caption style="font-style:italic;"> My caption</caption> <col style="width:30%;"/> <col style="background-color:yellow;"/> <tr> <th style="background-color:grey;color:red;">Name</th> <th>Address</th> </tr> <tr style="background-color:red;"> <td style="color:blue;">Bill</td> <td class="">The little house</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Carol</td> <td>The big house</td> </tr> </table>
