            {syntax type="markdown"  editor="wysiwyg"} # Plugin Media Wiki Table

*Introduced in ((Tiki3))*

Use this ((wiki plugin)) to display a table using MediaWiki syntax.

## Parameters

{pluginmanager plugin="mwtable"}

## Usage notes

This plugin doesn't support things like templates or the !row heading syntax. Column styling overcomes the latter to a degree but, for cross-browser consistency, you are limited by HTML to `border=` , `background=` , `width=` and `visibility=` . You can also use `span=` so that a `col` definition can apply to adjacent columns. `tr` and `td` styling overrides `col` .

### Structure of data

- Optionally, first line (prior to the first `|` ) contains html attributes for the table element.
- Optionally, next line can specify a caption; line starts with `|+` followed by optional html attributes that end with a `|` followed by the caption text.
- Optionally, html attributes for col elements can be specified next on one or more lines starting with a `?`
- Each column's attributes start on a new line with `?` or on the same line preceded by `??` and become a `col`
- Optionally, column headings can be specified next on one or more lines starting with a `!`
- Each column's heading starts on a new line with `!` or on the same line preceded by `!!`
- Optional html attributes for `th` end with a `|` followed by text that becomes the text of a `th`
- Each row, including the first, starts on a new line with `|-` , optionally followed by html attributes for the `tr` element
- Each cell starts on a new line with `|` or on the same line preceded by `||`
- Optional html attributes for the `td` element end with a `|` followed by the cell text (so data for one cell can have 1 or 2 | characters. Any other `|` characters are assumed to be part of the cell text.)

## Examples

### Basic syntax:

{CODE(colors="tiki")}
{MWTABLE(fancy="" wiki_classes="")}data{MWTABLE}
{CODE}

### The minimum

*This code:*
{CODE(colors="tiki")}
{MWTABLE()} 
|-
| Bill || The little house
|-
| Carol || The big house
{MWTABLE}
{CODE}

*Would produce:*
{CODE(colors="htmlmixed")}
<table class="wikitable">
<tr>
<td class="wikicell">Bill</td>
<td class="wikicell">The little house</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="wikicell">Carol</td>
<td class="wikicell">The big house</td>
</tr>
</table>
{CODE}

As a reference, under `tikineat.css` style, it shows as: 
{BOX()}
{DIV(style='text-align: center')}{img src="img/wiki_up/plugin_mwtable_01.png" }{DIV}
{BOX}

### Include styling

*This code:*
{CODE(colors="null")}
{MWTABLE( wiki_classes="false")} style="width:50%", class="myclass"
|+style="font-style:italic;"|My caption
? width="30%;" ?? style="background-color:yellow;"
! style="background-color:grey;"| Name
! Address
|- style="background-color: red"
| style="color: blue;" | Bill
| The little house
|-
| Carol || The big house
{MWTABLE}
{CODE}

*Would produce:*
{CODE(colors="htmlmixed")}
<table style="width:50%;" class="normal myclass">
<caption style="font-style:italic;">
My caption</caption>
<col style="width:30%;"/>
<col style="background-color:yellow;"/>
<tr>
<th style="background-color:grey;color:red;">Name</th>
<th>Address</th>
</tr>
<tr style="background-color:red;">
<td style="color:blue;">Bill</td>
<td class="">The little house</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Carol</td>
<td>The big house</td>
</tr>
</table>{CODE}

As a reference, under `tikineat.css` style, it shows as: 
{BOX()}
{DIV(style='text-align: center')}{img src="img/wiki_up/plugin_mwtable_02.png" }{DIV}
{BOX}
