[edit] Basic markup

Here are the basic elements to create a table:

• {| starts a table; |} ends it
• |- starts a row
•  ! starts a heading cell
• | starts another cell

[edit] Sample 1

Here's a simple table's input:

{|
 |- 
 !Heading 1
 !Heading 2
 |-
 |Data 1
 |Data 2
 |}

Here's how it displays:

Heading 1	Heading 2
Data 1	Data 2

[edit] Sample 2

Here's a simple table's input with borders and inputting all of a row's info on the same line (note repetition of dividing bars):

{|border=1 cellpadding=3 cellspacing=0
 |- 
 !Heading 1!!Heading 2
 |-
 |Data 1||Data 2
 |}

Here's how it displays:

Heading 1	Heading 2
Data 1	Data 2
