Taken from wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Table_alignment
Purpose
To make it simpler to align the columns in tables with less wikicode.
Usage
Place {{Table alignment}}
just before the table and then add some classes to the table.
classname | Purpose |
---|---|
defaultleft |
Align all table cells left by default |
defaultcenter |
Align all table cells center by default |
defaultright |
Align all table cells right by default |
colNleft |
Align the cells in column N left, where N is a number |
colNcenter |
Align the cells in column N center, where N is a number |
colNright |
Align the cells in column N right, where N is a number |
With the wikitable class the header cell content is always centered unless individually adjusted.
The col and default classes never affect the header cells (column, row, or anywhere) if the wikitable class is used. The col class overrides the default class.
If the wikitable class is not used, then col and default affect header cells.
Limitations
- Column numbers up to
col29
are supported. A table can have more columns but they cannot be aligned with this method. - On tables using
rowspan
orcolspan
, using the classes may not work well on those rows because the alignment appears in wrong cells. Normal table code likestyle="text-align: left/center/right;"| cell content
can be added to individual cells, both to get the wanted alignment and override unwanted alignment.
Example
{{Table alignment}} {| class="wikitable defaultcenter col1left col4right" !Item1 !Item2 !Item3 !Item4 |- |AAAAAA |100-200 |3-4 |53.43 |- |BBB |5-6 |7-8 |5563.35 |- |CC |9-10 |113-125 |322313.00 |} </div>
Item1 | Item2 | Item3 | Item4 |
---|---|---|---|
AAAAAA | 100-200 | 3-4 | 53.43 |
BBB | 5-6 | 7-8 | 5563.35 |
CC | 9-10 | 113-125 | 322313.00 |
