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"
|-
...
|}

prettytableEdit

Table body
- Greytable cells (#f9f9f9;)
- margin: 1em 1em 1em 0;
- border: 1px #aaa solid;
- border-collapse: collapse;
Header row
- padding: 0.2em;
- border: 1px #aaa solid;
- background-color: #f2f2f2;

Cells

Example:
