The **~MediawikiTable** [[Help:WikiPlugin|plugin]] allows a user to specify a ##<table>## with (a subset of) the syntax used by Mediawiki.
The plugin is not meant to be called directly, just use the syntax below to insert your table.

== Mediawiki table syntax ==

* The table starts with a line ##{|##.
* An optional table caption is made with a line starting with a pipe and a plus sign ##|+## followed by the caption.
* A table row starts with a pipe and a hyphen: ##|-##.
* A table cell starts with a pipe on a new line, or a double bar ##||## on the same line.
* A header table cell starts with an exclamation mark, or a double exclamation mark ##!!## on the same line.
* The table ends with a line ##|}##.

If the first row of the table as made with header cells only, this row will be put in a //thead//.
In that case, this row will be repeated on every page when printing the table.

=== HTML attributes ===

{| class="bordered"
|-
! Attribute
! Syntax
|-
| For the table
| {{{ {| border="1" }}}
|-
| For the caption
| {{{ |+ style="font-weight: bold;" }}}
|-
| For a row
| {{{ |- style="height:100px" }}}
|-
| For a cell
| {{{ | align="right" | Cell 2 (right aligned) }}}
|}

The attributes might be put with or without double quotes.

=== Predefined CSS classes ===

If you do not specify a class for the table, it will be rendered without border.

==== Boxed and bordered tables ====

If you specify ##class="boxed"##, you will have a border around the table (but not around the cells).

If you specify ##class="bordered"##, you will have a border around the table and the cells

In both cases, the caption (if any) will be bold and centered under the table

In both cases, the headers (specified by ##!##) will have a ##"#d8d8d8"## background

==== Sortable tables ====

If you specify ##class="sortable"##, the table columns will be sortable.
An icon will be put in the headers to show the table is sortable.
Clicking on a column header will sort that column.
You can sort multiple columns with shift click.

==== Do not break table when printing ====

If you specify ##class="nobreak"##, the table will not be cut when printed (if your browser supports it).

== Examples ==

=== Example 1: simple table ===

{| border="1" style="width: 100%"
|+ style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 150%;" | This is the table caption
|- style="white-space: nowrap"
! Header 1
! Header 2
! Header 3
|- style=height:100px
| Cell I
| **Cell II**,  in bold
|align=right width="100%" |Cell III
|- bgcolor=#f0f0ff align=center
|Cell 1||Cell 2||Cell 3
|}

The above table is rendered from:

{{{
{| border="1" style="width: 100%"
|+ style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 150%;" | This is the table caption
|- style="white-space: nowrap"
! Header 1
! Header 2
! Header 3
|- style=height:100px
| Cell I
| **Cell II**,  in bold
|align=right width="100%" |Cell III
|- bgcolor=#f0f0ff align=center
|Cell 1||Cell 2||Cell 3
|}
}}}

=== Example 2: table with paragraphs, lists and plugins in cells ===

{|
|- style="white-space: nowrap"
! Header 1
! Header 2
|- bgcolor=yellow
| First paragraph.

Second paragraph.
|
* One
* Two
* Three
|- bgcolor=#f0f0ff align=center
|Current date || <<CurrentTime format=date>>
|}

The above table is rendered from:

{{{
{|
|- style="white-space: nowrap"
! Header 1
! Header 2
|- bgcolor=yellow
| First paragraph.

Second paragraph.
|
* One
* Two
* Three
|- bgcolor=#f0f0ff align=center
|Current date || <<CurrentTime format=date>>
|}
}}}

=== Example 3: sortable table ===

Click on a column header to sort the column.
Clicking a second time will reverse the sorting order.

{| class="bordered sortable"
|-
! First name !! Name !! Age
|-
| John || Smith || 35
|-
| Albert || Wells || 5
|-
| Sam || Adam || 102
|}

The above table is rendered from:

{{{
{| class="bordered sortable"
|-
! First name !! Name !! Age
|-
| John || Smith || 35
|-
| Albert || Wells || 5
|-
| Sam || Adam || 102
|}
}}}

=== Example 4: nested tables ===

<<MediawikiTable
{| class="bordered" align=center
|+ Outer table caption
|-
! Header A !! Header B
|-
| A numbered list:
# one
# two
# three
|
This cell contains a nested table.
 {| class="bordered"
 |+ Inner table caption
 |-
 ! Header A
 ! Header B
 |-
 | Inner A1
 | Inner B1
 |-
 | Inner A2
 | Inner B2
 |}
|-
| A paragraph

Another paragraph

| A plain list:
* apple
* pear
* apricot
|}
>>

The above table is rendered from:

{{{
<<MediawikiTable
{| class="bordered" align=center
|+ Outer table caption
|-
! Header A !! Header B
|-
| A numbered list:
# one
# two
# three
|
This cell contains a nested table.
 {| class="bordered"
 |+ Inner table caption
 |-
 ! Header A
 ! Header B
 |-
 | Inner A1
 | Inner B1
 |-
 | Inner A2
 | Inner B2
 |}
|-
| A paragraph

Another paragraph

| A plain list:
* apple
* pear
* apricot
|}
>>
}}}
