If there is no global text alignment set in the top line of the table wikitext, then all text is left aligned, except for header cells which are default center aligned.
If the first text-word is too long, no text will fit to complete the left-hand side, so beware creating a "ragged left margin" when not enough space remains for text to fit alongside floating-tables. If multiple single image-tables are stacked, they will float to align across the page, depending on page-width.
A table is an arrangement of columns and rows that organizes and positions data or images. Tables can be created on Wikipedia pages using special wikitext syntax, and many different styles and tricks can be used to customise them.
The caption tag is used inside the HTML element "table". This can also be done indirectly using the code "|+" as part of the wikicode for a table. Captions are placed above the table by default. Captions can also be placed below, to the left, or to the right of the table, based on the value of the "align" parameter.
The easiest way to insert a new table is to use the editing toolbar that appears when you edit a page (see image above). Clicking the button will open a dialog where you define what you want in your new table. Once you've chosen the number of rows and columns, the wiki markup text for the table is inserted into the article.
