Basics TiddlyWiki5 formats tables using vertical bar `|` characters. Exclamation marks `!` are used to indicate header cells. <<wikitext-example-without-html src:"""|!Cell1 |!Cell2 | |Cell3 |Cell3 | """>> ! Cell Alignment Table cell alignment is controlled by inserting space characters before and/or after the cell content. For example: <<wikitext-example-without-html src:"""|Left aligned content | | Right aligned content| | Centred content | |+++ a very wide column so we can see the alignment +++| """>> ! Cell vertical Alignment Vertical alignment of cells is done by inserting either a `^` for top alignment or a `,` for bottom alignment as the first character of a cell. The normal horizontal alignment is still possible. For example: ``` |^top left |^ top center |^ top right| |middle left | middle center | middle right| |,bottom left |, bottom center |, bottom right| ``` The example renders as: | :: | ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: | ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: | ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: | :: | | ::<br>:: |^top left |^ top center |^ top right| ::<br>:: | | ::<br>:: |middle left | middle center | middle right| ::<br>:: | | ::<br>:: |,bottom left |, bottom center |, bottom right| ::<br>:: | | :: | ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: | ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: | ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: | :: | If you need to have a `^`or a `,` as the first character of a left aligned cell, you can use HTML escaping: | `^` | &#94; | | `,` | &#44; | ! Cell Merging To merge a table cell with the one above, use the special cell text `~`. To merge a cell with the one to its left use the text `<`. To merge one to its right use `>`. For example: <<wikitext-example-without-html src:"""|Cell1 |Cell2 |Cell3 |Cell4 | |Cell5 |Cell6 |Cell7 |<| |Cell5 |~|Cell7 |Cell8 | |>|Cell9 |Cell10 |Cell11 | """>> !
