Flexikon: Tables

Tables can help to structure similar information and show it in a graphically atractive form. They are especially useful if the information is supposed to be sorted in some way, e.g. according to date or in alphabetical order.

On the other hand it is more complicated to edit tables than plain text. Therefor tables should only be used if

1. they can really help to structure your article.
2. you need to sort your content.

	Title
	First headline Second headline Third headline 1. row, left 1. row, middle complete right column 2. row, left 2. row, middle complete lower row

<table title="Tabellentitel" width="100%" border="0">
<tr>
<th>First headline</th>
<th>Second headline</th>
<th>Third headline</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1. row, left</td>
<td>1. row, middle</td>
<td rowspan="2">complete right column</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2. row, left</td>
<td>2. row, middle</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3" align="center">complete lower row</td>
</tr>
</table>

Be sure to finish all <tr>, <th> and <td> with the corresponding </tr>, </th> und </td>.
