For table markup, it can be applied to whole tables, table captions, table rows, and individual cells. 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 ...
Currently, there does not seem to be a way to copy those tables to a wiki and keep styling such as colors (background or text color). It is possible to convert PDF tables to Excel and keep the colors. Or to HTML tables and keep the colors. But there does not seem to be a way to copy any of those colored tables (PDF, Excel, HTML, etc.) to a wiki.
See: Help:HTML in wikitext#Tables. By default, text is aligned to the vertical middle of the cell (2nd column in table below). See: Template:Vertical align rows. It allows one to set all rows in a table to be either top or bottom aligned. {} CSS can be used to align individual cells, or single rows.
For years in HTML, a table has always forced an implicit line-wrap (or line-break). So, to keep a table within a line, the workaround is to put the whole line into a table, then embed a table within a table, using the outer table to force the whole line to stay together. Consider the following examples: Wikicode (showing table forces line-break)
An FO table functions much like an HTML/CSS table. The user specifies rows of data for each individual cell. The user can, also, specify some styling information for each column, such as background color.

The ambox CSS classes are defined in MediaWiki:Common.css. This guide describes how to use the classes directly in wikitables and HTML tables. There is also a meta template {} that makes it easy to create article message boxes. It has usage documentation and examples and can handle the most common usage cases.

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.
This also applies to other coding approaches, such as divs with CSS styling, or rowspan and colspan HTML cell attributes. 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 ...
