Example Wiki Table

Column A	Column B	Column C
Entry for row 1, Column A	Entry for row 1, Column B	Entry for row 1, Column C
Entry for row 2, Column A	Entry for row 2, Column B	Entry for row 2, Column C
Spanning entry		Entry for row 3, Column C
More spanning

The above table is achieved with the following:

||'''Column A'''||'''Column B'''||'''Column C'''||
||Entry for row 1, Column A||Entry for row 1, Column B||Entry for row 1, Column C||
||Entry for row 2, Column A||Entry for row 2, Column B||Entry for row 2, Column C||
||||Spanning entry|| Entry for row 3, Column C ||
||||||More spanning||

Text alignment

Currently there is no way to align text left or right within a table cell. Text is always centered.

If the centering is driving you mad, you can easily make it align left instead. change your wiki.pl. Near line 1718 (on my version; yours may vary), there is code like this:

             s/^((\|\|)+)(.*)\|\|\s*$/"$3<\/TD><\/TR>\n"/e) {

change the ALIGN='CENTER' to ALIGN='LEFT' and all your tables will be left-aligned (This doesn't give user control on a per-table basis)

Install the TableFormatting wiki patch to refine this feature, including allowing full user control of justifying/centering.

Comments

You can still use the table tags, but you must place the code within an block, and you must enable the use of inline raw HTML code in the wiki.pl code.

    wiki.pl:

    ...
    $RawHtml = 1; # around line 120
    ...

    Your wiki page:

header1	header2
col1	col2
