Tables

Table markup cannot be edited directly in the page. Instead you must use the Table interface. Borders are always 1, cellspacing 0, cellpadding 0. Carriage returns are allowed inside cells. There is no control yet over shading or colors.

Click Table to insert a table at cursor. Add or delete columns and rows on the right side of the screen.

• Man Edit: Manually edit table Markup.
• L: Move cell focus to the left
• R: Move cell focus to the right
• Headers: Define the column headers. You can modify column header text and column size.
• Up: Move cell focus up one row.
• Down: Move cell focus down one row.

Copy/Paste Cells: To copy data from an external table to a wiki table, you must be running Google Chrome. If it is a complex table, you may need to copy/paste in pieces. First, copy the external table cells. Then click Table, make sure there are enough columns, then click Paste Cells.

To bold the text within a cell, edit the text outside of the Table window.
