Tables are a common way of displaying data. This tutorial provides a guide to making new tables and editing existing ones. For guidelines on when and how to use tables, see the Manual of Style. The easiest way to insert a new table is to use the editing toolbar that appears when you edit a page (see image above).
Also, if the table has cell spacing (and thus border-collapse=separate), meaning that cells have separate borders with a gap in between, that gap will still be visible. A cruder way to align columns of numbers is to use a figure space   or  , which is intended to be the width of a numeral, though is font-dependent in practice:
If this is a problem, it can be fixed by pasting the table right off the page (not the wikitext) into Excel2Wiki. Excel2Wiki will compress the wikitext. And it will do it correctly for tables with row headers too (see also Help:Table#Row headers). Tab2wiki will not compress the wikitext at all if this is checked: "First element in a row is a ...
{| table code goes here |} An optional table caption is included with a line starting with a vertical bar and plus sign "|+" and the caption after it: {| |+ caption table code goes here |} To start a new table row, type a vertical bar and a hyphen on its own line: "|-". The codes for the cells in that row start on the next line.

However, the table margins, border and font-size must be precisely set to match a typical image display. The Image-spec parameter "thumb|" (although auto-thumbnailing to user-preference width) forces a wide left-margin that squeezes the nearby text, so the parameter "center|" can be added to suppress the left-margin padding.
