How to Create Table

{\|	start table
\|+	table caption, optional; only one per table and between table start and first row
\|-	table row, optional on first row -- wiki engine assumes the first row
!	table header cell, optional. Consecutive table headers may be added on same line separated by double marks (!!) or start on new lines, each with its own single mark (!).
\|	table data cell, required! Consecutive table data cells may be added on same line separated by double marks (\|\|) or start on new lines, each with its own single mark (\|).
\|}	end table

The above marks must start on a new line except the double || and !! for optionally adding consecutive cells to a line.
XHTML attributes. Each mark, except table end, optionally accepts one or more XHTML attributes. Attributes must be on the same line as the mark. Separate attributes from each other with a single space.
- Cells and caption (| or ||, ! or !!, and |+) hold content. So separate any attributes from content with a single pipe (|). Cell content may follow on same line or on following lines.
- Table and row marks ({| and |-) do not directly hold content. Do not add pipe (|) after their optional attributes. If you erroneously add a pipe after attributes for the table mark or row mark the parser will delete it and your final attribute if it was touching the erroneous pipe!
Content may (a) follow its cell mark on the same line after any optional XHTML attributes or (b) on lines below the cell mark. Content that uses wiki markup that itself needs to start on a new line, such as lists, headers, or nested tables, must of course be on its own new line.

See the Mediawiki Help for more information.

Sample Table

The following table lacks borders and good spacing but shows the simplest wiki markup table structure. If you want border, you can add: border="1" after {|.

Orange	Apple
Bread	Pie
Butter	Ice cream

{|
|Orange
|Apple
|-
|Bread
|Pie
|-
|Butter
|Ice cream 
|}
