    Introduction to tables

    Tables are a common way of displaying data. There is a four part guide Introduction to tables with Wiki Markup about putting tables in pages. It consists of these sections:

    • Introduction to tables
    • Creating tables manually
    • Sortable tables
    • HTML and tables

    This tutorial provides a guide on making new tables and editing existing ones. For guidelines on when and how to use tables, see the Manual of Style.
