[edit] In html

Tables can be written in wikitalk but I find it a bit difficult and find it easier to use html:

<table width="75%" border="1">

<tr>

<td> 1.1</td>

<td> 1.2</td>

<td> 1.3</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td> 2.1</td>

<td> 2.2</td>

<td> 2.3</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td> 3.1</td>

<td> 3.2</td>

<td> 3.3</td>

</tr>

</table>

This produces the 3 x 3 table:

1.1	1.2	1.3
2.1	2.2	2.3
3.1	3.2	3.3

(If you really want a laugh look at this page in 'edit' mode, nowikis anyone? )

Although not recommended this works and comes more naturally to me.

(Sneaky way to create a table:

With Dreamweaver or some similar prog design your table there & copy/paste the code into your page.)

[edit] Worthless Table

{| | A | B | C |- | D | E | F |- | G | H | I |} produces:

A	B	C
D	E	F
G	H	I

[edit] Slightly Proficient Table

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" |+{Text} |- ! X !! A !! A !! A |- ! A | A || A || A |- ! A | A || A || A |- ! A | A || A || A |- ! A | A || A || A |- ! A | A || A || A |} produces:

{Text}

X	A	A	A
A	A	A	A
A	A	A	A
A	A	A	A
A	A	A	A
A	A	A	A

[edit] Another Slightly Proficient Table

{| style="width:75%; height:200px" border="1" |- | A || B || C |- style="height:100px" | D || style="width:100px" |E || F |- | G || H || I |} produces:

A	B	C
D	E	F
G	H	I

Note, these are usually entered with a new line for each "|" symbol, or at least each "|-", to make them easier to work on.
