Border width[edit source]

|---|---|---|
{|style="border-style: solid; border-width: 20px"
|
<translate nowrap><!--T:218--> Hello</translate>

<translate> If "border-width:" has more than one number, the four numbers are for top, right, bottom, left (REMEMBER clockwise order <tvar|clockwise>↑→↓←</>): </translate>
| <translate> You type</translate> | <translate> You get</translate> | |
|---|---|---|
{|style="border-style: solid; border-width: 10px 20px 100px 0"

|
|
<translate>
- When there are fewer than 4 values :
</translate>
- <translate> three values i.e. <tvar|3val>
top,right,bottom</>: then the default value for <tvar|left>left</> is the one of <tvar|right>right</> (second value). Width is then the same on left and right side.</translate> - <translate> two values i.e. <tvar|2val>
top,right</>: then the default value for <tvar|bottom>bottom</> is the one of <tvar|top>top</> (first value), and <tvar|left>left</> by default is assigned the value of <tvar|right>right</> (second value). Width on top is then the same as on bottom; width on left is the same as on right.</translate> - <translate> one value i.e. <tvar|1val>
top</>: then the default value for <tvar|right>right</> is the one of <tvar|top>top</> and it is the same for <tvar|bottom>bottom</> and <tvar|left>left</>. The fourth width are the same and build a regular border. This is a writing shortcut.</translate>
- <translate> three values i.e. <tvar|3val>
<translate> Another method to define the widths of the four sides of a cell is to use "border-left", "border-right", "border-top" and "border-bottom": </translate>

Accessibility of table header cells[edit source]
</translate> <translate> Table header cells do not explicitly specify which table data cells they apply to (those on their right on the same row, or those below them on the same column).</translate> <translate> When the table is rendered in a visual 2D environment, this is usually easy to infer.</translate>
<translate> However when tables are rendered on non-visual media, you can help the browser to determine which table header cell applies to the description of any selected cell (in order to repeat its content in some accessibility helper) using a scope="row" or scope="col" attribute on table header cells.</translate> <translate> In most cases with simple tables, you'll use scope="col" on all header cells of the first row, and scope="row" on the first cell of the following rows:</translate>
| <translate> You type</translate> | <translate> You get</translate> | ||||||||||||

Alignment[edit source]
Table alignment[edit source]
</translate> <translate> Table alignment is achieved by using CSS.</translate> <translate> The table alignment is controlled by margins.</translate> <translate> A fixed margin on one side will make the table to be aligned to that side, if on the opposite side the margin is defined as auto.</translate> <translate> To have a table center aligned, you should set both margins to auto</translate>
<translate> For example, a right-aligned table: </translate>
| <translate> You type</translate> | <translate> You get</translate> | ||||||

Table floating around text[edit source]
</translate>
<translate> If you align a table to the right or the left side of the page, the text that comes after the table starts at the end of it, leaving an empty space around the table.</translate>
<translate> You can make the text to be wrapped around the table by making the table to float around the text instead of just aligning it.</translate>
<translate> This can be achieved using the float CSS attribute, which can specify where the table floats to the right side or to the left.</translate>
<translate> When using float, margins doesn't control table alignment and can be used to specify the margin between the table and the surrounding text.</translate>

Cell contents alignment[edit source]

<translate> The alignment of cell contents can be controlled with 2 different CSS properties: text-align and vertical-align.</translate>

Caveats[edit source]
Negative numbers[edit source]
</translate>
<translate> If you start a cell on a new line with a negative number with a minus sign (or a parameter that evaluates to a negative number), your table can get broken, because the characters |- will be parsed as the wiki markup for table row, not table cell.</translate>
<translate> To avoid this, insert a space before the value (| -6) or use in-line cell markup (|| -6).</translate>
<translate>
CSS vs attributes[edit source]
Table borders specified through CSS rather than the border attribute will render incorrectly in a small subset of text browsers.
Common attributes for columns, column groups and row groups[edit source]
</translate>
<translate> The MediaWiki syntax for tables currently offers no support for specifying common attributes for columns (with the HTML element <tvar|col><col /></>), column groups (HTML element <tvar|colgroup><colgroup></colgroup></>) and row groups (HTML elements <tvar|thead><thead></thead></>, <tvar|tbody><tbody></tbody></> and <tvar|tfoot><tfoot></tfoot></>).</translate>
<translate> Those standard HTML elements are not accepted even in their HTML or XHTML syntax.</translate>
<translate>
All the rows and cells (header or data) of the table are rendered within a single implicit row group (HTML element <tbody></tbody>) without any attributes or styles.

Notes[edit source]
