Cut cells into parts: Instead of trying to make a super-cell that spans rows/columns, split it into smaller cells while leaving some cells intentionally empty. Use a non-breaking space with or {} in empty cells to maintain the table structure. Custom CSS styling: Override the wikitable class defaults by explicitly specifying:
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:
Type the codes for each table cell in the next row, starting with a bar: {| |+ The table's caption |- | cell code goes here |- | next row cell code goes here | next cell code goes here |} Cells can be separated with either a new line and a single bar, or by a double bar "||" on the same line. Both produce the same output:
When used in conjunction with the table element, it specifies the amount of space between the border of a table cell and its contents. [1] [2] Cellpadding is an attribute of an individual cell in a table, so each cell in a table can be assigned its own cellpadding value, [3] if not assigned however, the default value for cellpadding is 1.
Required for accessibility purposes on data tables, and placed only between the table start and the first table row. ! header cell Optional. Each header cell starts with a new line and a single exclamation mark (!), or several header cells can be placed consecutively on the same line, separated by double exclamation marks (!!). |-new row
A table cell is one grouping within a chart table used for storing information or data. Cells are grouped horizontally (rows of cells) and vertically (columns of cells). Each cell contains information relating to the combination of the row and column headings it is collinear with.
Nesting data tables with header cells also makes it difficult for assistive readers to parse them sensibly, and should be avoided. Nesting tables may be the most appropriate method where cells of the parent table are to be subdivided with uneven internal row or column breaks. Note that each table must begin on a new line.
Example from Fiscal year#Chart of Different Fiscal Years. This table is only visually structured, and is wrong from a data point of view. "Australia is under the column headers "Country" and "Purpose". Sighted users can understand the cell under "Purpose" is supposed to be blank because of the visual empty space.
