Template talk:PrettyXHTMLtable

Usage

You can use the {{PrettyXHTMLtable}} template instead of typing out all the XHTML attributes every time. This template is for building tables using XHTML markup: there is a different template for MediaWiki coded tables.

The following is the markup for a simple table:

<table {{PrettyXHTMLtable}}>
 <tr>
  <th scope="col">Column 1</th>
  <th scope="col">Column 2</th>
  <th scope="col">Column 3</th>
 </tr>
 <tr>
  <td>Value (1,1)</td>
  <td>Value (1,2)</td>
  <td>Value (1,3)</td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
  <td>Value (2,1)</td>
  <td>Value (2,2)</td>
  <td>Value (2,3)</td>
 </tr>
</table>

The above code will turn into the following table when saved:

Column 1	Column 2	Column 3
Value (1,1)	Value (1,2)	Value (1,3)
Value (2,1)	Value (2,2)	Value (2,3)

Comments

Why doesn't this work? It should be adding the attributes into the <table> tag but it puts a couple of character entities there instead. --Cerbera 07:09, 6 Mar 2006 (Central Standard Time)
