CSS specificity in relation to content should be considered since applying it to a row could affect all that row's cells and applying it to a table could affect all the table's cells and caption, where styles closer to the content can override parent styles. rowspan Extends a cell beyond its normal one row.
Editors sometimes use headerless tables as an aid to content layout, especially where it is easier than the equivalent use of divs and CSS styling. For complex layouts, rowspan and colspan may be used, but again it is sometimes simpler and more maintainable to use nested tables. Nested tables must start on a new line.
If you use tables for two-dimensional graphics you might discover a "feature" in HTML that promotes grey hair. It can affect both rows and columns, depending on the use of either rowspan or colspan. In this 7-row table three cells are assigned a rowspan of 3, but the table totals 6 rows. Where is row 4? There is a row 5-4!
For columns, one uses |colspan=n | content, whereas for rows, one uses |rowspan=m | content. In the table code, one must leave out the cells that are covered by such a span. The resulting column- and row-counting must fit. Tables can have cells spanning multiple rows, using |rowspan=n. The number of rows must be indicated with each use of rowspan.
Looks like rowspan=2 is working for you. Ah, rowspan was the first thing i tried, I just didn't know how to get the 5 below the 4 without breaking the table. I would just put it next to the 4 in the code and it'd make a new column or something. --2A02:2F07:B10C:E300:7144:16E6:515C:6CA3 11:14, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
The key principle in their design and implementation is to maintain normal flow, i.e. to ensure that the ordering of the content in the page code matches the order in which the content is to be presented. This also applies to other coding approaches, such as divs with CSS styling, or rowspan and colspan HTML cell attributes.
@Closercamera901: You need to add colspan="2" to all third column cells including the header cell except for row one's cell, then add a fourth cell to row one. This makes the table have four columns. See Help:Table#Colspan and rowspan. Jroberson108 02:08, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
The template is compatible with collapsible tables, and cells using colspan or rowspan, in which case place the colspan/rowspan attribute between ! and {{diagonal split header 2 ...}}. It is not compatible with sortable tables, as the sort arrows are not drawn, but this problem can be resolved by using a second header row.
