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.

HTML attributes:
* for the table:
<pre>
{| border="1"
</pre>
* for the caption:
<pre>
|+ style="font-weight: bold;"
</pre>
* for a row:
<pre>
|- style="height:100px"
</pre>
* for a cell:
<pre>
|align="right" |Cell 2 (right aligned)
</pre>

The attributes might be put with or without double quotes.

The Mediawiki syntax for headers:
<pre>
! Header 1
</pre>
is not (yet) supported.

!!! 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>
