Help:Tables

This article details the use of tables on Nookipedia. Typically the code for a table is formatted and stored on a template page, and then this code is called using the proper template call. These templates can be found at Category:Table templates. Some articles do include Wikitext table code within the page itself, however.

As of right now, Nookipedia does not have a standard way of generating or formatting tables and implementation tends to vary from article to article. As Project Database moves forward, a standard procedure may be developed and if so will be noted on this page.

Creating tables
All tables begin with  and end with. For example:

{| style="width:100%; text-align:center;" class=wikitable ! style="width:50%" | You type ! style="width:50%" | You get
 * style="text-align:left;"|
 * style="text-align:left;"|
 * }

Each new line starts with the a pipe character  which creates a new cell. A line with with a pipe-dash  creates a new row. Using  instead of   to start a line creates bold, centered text. Note that these symbols will only generate a table if they are placed at the beginning of a line.

CSS can be used style tables, rows, and cells. An example can be seen in the above table where  is added after the opening table tag to style the entire table. is added after a new row tag to style that specific row. A method to style an existing cell can be seen in the bottom right cell where the total of 15.00 is bolded by using the code.
