The *~MediawikiTable* plugin is a plugin that takes off from the [RichTablePlugin|Help:RichTablePlugin]. It allows a user to specify a <tt><table></tt> with (a subset of) the syntax used by Mediawiki.

* The table starts with a line <b>{~|</b> and ends with a line <b>|~}</b>.
* An optional table caption is made with a line starting with a pipe and a plus sign <b>|+</b> followed by the caption.
* A table row starts with a pipe and a hyphen: <b>|-</b>.
* A table cell starts with a pipe on a new line, or a double bar <b>||</b> on the same line.
* A header table cell starts with an exclamation mark, or a double exclamation mark <b>!!</b> on the same line (works only with an explicit plugin call).

!!! HTML attributes

<?plugin RichTable
* class="bordered"
-
|
Attribute
|
Syntax
-
|
For the table
|
{| border="1"
-
|
For the caption
|
~|+ style="font-weight: bold;"
-
|
For a row
|
~|- style="height:100px"
-
|
For a cell
|
~| align="right" | Cell 2 (right aligned)
?>

The attributes might be put with or without double quotes.

!!! Example

{| border="1", style="width: 100%"
|+ style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 150%;" | This is the table caption
|- style="white-space: nowrap"
| <b>Header 1</b>
| <b>Header 2</b>
| <b>Header 3</b>
|- style=height:100px
| Cell I
| <b>Cell II</b>,  in bold
|align=right, width="100%" |Cell III
|- bgcolor=#f0f0ff, align=center
|Cell 1||Cell 2||Cell 3
|}

The above table is rendered from:

<verbatim>
{| border="1", style="width: 100%"
|+ style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 150%;" | This is the table caption
|- style="white-space: nowrap"
| <b>Header 1</b>
| <b>Header 2</b>
| <b>Header 3</b>
|- style=height:100px
| Cell I
| <b>Cell II</b>,  in bold
|align=right, width="100%" |Cell III
|- bgcolor=#f0f0ff, align=center
|Cell 1||Cell 2||Cell 3
|}
</verbatim>

In this example, there is no explicit call to the plugin. You have the same syntax as in Mediawiki.

You can also explictly call the plugin. This will allow you:
* to use the Mediawiki header syntax (!),
* to use multiple paragraphs in a cell,
* to use lists in a cell.

<?plugin MediawikiTable
{|
|- style="white-space: nowrap"
! Header 1
! Header 2
|- bgcolor=yellow
| First paragraph.

Second paragraph.
|
* One
* Two
* Three
|- bgcolor=#f0f0ff, align=center
|Cell 1||Cell 2
|}
?>

The above table is rendered from:

<verbatim>
<?plugin MediawikiTable
{|
|- style="white-space: nowrap"
! Header 1
! Header 2
|- bgcolor=yellow
| First paragraph.

Second paragraph.
|
* One
* Two
* Three
|- bgcolor=#f0f0ff, align=center
|Cell 1||Cell 2
|}
?>
</verbatim>
