Wikisource:Style guide Tables
Some styles used to enable easier formatting consistency of tables
Basic tableEdit
A plain table, without borders. A common use is to reproduce a work's table of contents.
{| width=100%
|-
|Chapter 1
|align=right|1
|-
|Chapter 2
|align=right|17
...
|-
|Chapter 27
|align=right|371
|}
Shortcut formattingEdit
To enable a shortcut in the complexity of tables, and how they look in wikitext format, we have created the template:Table style.
ClassesEdit
To use one of the following classes in a wikitable, formatting takes the form
{| class="classname"
|-
...
|}
