General

In Wikidpad tables can be used. For the time being however, this remains limited to the default html table style. No formatting facilities are available for tables.

A table is defined inside a table block; a construct analogous to the escape blocks (see Textformatting: Escape). A table block is defined by the "<<|" and ">>" start and ending tags. These tags must be alone on an otherwise empty line; you cán however put a tab in front of the opening tag, to indent the table. Each line of text in the block forms a table row, individual cells in the row are separated by a vertical bar (" | "). Example:

row 1	cell	cell	cell
row 2	cell	cell	cell

Formatting cell content

In a table cell the following formatting elements can be used:

Bold text	bold
Italic text	italics
Images
Page links	Top
Web links	http://www.w3schools.com/
File links	files/license.txt
Wiki links	Foowiki with an image title
Footnotes	This is text with a footnote [1].
Page insertions	See Textformatting: insertions
Html elements	HTML small tekst, HTML standard tekst, HTML big tekst

Wikidpad elements that can nót be used inside tables are:

Lists

Headings

Horizontal lines

Multi line cell content

The content of a cell can be split over two or more lines, by breaking it up over as many page lines and separating the line parts by a backslash. An example in this case, tells more then text can:

row 1	cell 1, line 1 cell 1, line 2 cell 1, line 3	cell2	cell 3, line 1 cell 3, line 2
row 2	cell 1	cell 2, line 1 cell 2, line 2	cell 3

In the above example the definition for row 1 effectively has been split over 4 consecutive page lines, resulting in a not all together easy-reference structure. An easier way would be to simply add a few html "<br />" tags in the cell content, to break it up; like this:

row 1	cell 1, line 1 cell 1, line 2 cell 1, line 3	cell2	cell 3, line 1 cell 3, line 2
row 2	cell 1	cell 2, line 1 cell 2, line 2	cell 3

View this section in the editor, to see the difference in structure and reference.

Tab as cell delimiter

As an alternative, also the Tab can be used as cell delimiter. To use this, start the table block with the "<<|t" tag instead of the "<<|" tag. Example:

row 1	cell	cell	cell
row 2	cell	cell	cell

Important!
This facility can only be used, when the option: menu / Editor / Settings / "Tabs to spaces" is not switch on.
A table cell can contain wiki word links, bold and italic text.
