Introduction to tables

Tables are a common way of displaying data. There is a four part guide Introduction to tables with Wiki Markup about putting tables in pages. It consists of these sections:

  • Introduction to tables
  • Creating tables manually
  • Sortable tables
  • HTML and tables

This tutorial provides a guide on making new tables and editing existing ones. For guidelines on when and how to use tables, see the Manual of Style.

Check your work before you save, using Preview

When you edit a page, you can use the Preview button (located right next to the Save page button) to see in advance what your edits will look like. This lets you check your work periodically without filling up the page history by making lots of smaller edits. The preview function can also help you avoid mistakes, such as when using an unfamiliar type of wiki markup. The preview will appear together with the edit box you have been working in (either above or below it, however you prefer).

An even faster way to preview a page is with the keyboard shortcut ⇧ Shift+alt+P.
