Link to Part 1 - Tables - Introduction

  • Within Wikitree there is a way of creating tables with columns Tips for Tables. At the beginning of this is a link showing you how to upload a spreadsheet straight into a Wikitree table. This fantastic if you have such a spreadsheet.

Contents

Basic Table

  • For those who don't, the explanations on that page are great as a starter for 10, So make sure you have worked through that and you are able to create
Column A Column B
Bananas $1.20
Apples $0.80
Grapefruit $2.00
Strawberries $0.50
  • Personally I rarely use the "wikitable sortable" function, so my table starter would look like this
Column A Column B
Bananas $1.20
Apples $0.80
Grapefruit $2.00
Strawberries $0.50

Add a Column

  • so if I wanted to add another column I would add a couple of pipes after Column B with a space after B and a space after the double pipe
Column A Column B Column C
Bananas $1.20
Apples $0.80
Grapefruit $2.00
Strawberries $0.50
  • and another
Column A Column B Column C Column D
Bananas $1.20
Apples $0.80
Grapefruit $2.00
Strawberries $0.50
  • only when you put entries into the boxes (using the same double pipe as a separator) are the borders produced
Column A Column B Column C Column D
Bananas $1.20 Costa Rica Nicaragua
Apples $0.80
Grapefruit $2.00
Strawberries $0.50

Indenting your Table

  • You may have noticed that there are a couple of colons at the beginning of table. This is to indent it. Without the colons it would look like this.
Column A Column B Column C Column D
Bananas $1.20 Costa Rica Nicaragua
Apples $0.80
Grapefruit $2.00
Strawberries $0.50

Putting Our data in

  • So let's try it with our data from the Part 1. I start by copying and pasting the first couple of lines from the Table above, not forgetting to put a concluding line with |}
Column A Column B Column C Column D
Bananas $1.20 Costa Rica Nicaragua
  • after copying and pasting
Name Occupation Place Birth Year Death Year
Robert R. Hughes Tailor Abergele 1821 1891
  • I have copied and pasted the link for his name not for Abergele. Let's do this
Column A Column B Column C Column D
Bananas $1.20 Costa Rica Nicaragua
  • after copying and pasting
Name Occupation Place Birth Year Death Year
Robert R. Hughes Tailor Abergele 1821 1891
  • looking at the Edit Text it looks a real mess, so again it is suggested you put the links in at the end.

Adding a line

  • Now you want to add another line... One way is always to have an extra line to move to. Equally you could copy the headings line and paste below, and delete the text.
Name Occupation Place Birth Year Death Year
Robert R. Hughes Tailor Abergele 1821 1891
Name Occupation Place Birth Year Death Year
  • with the text deleted
Name Occupation Place Birth Year Death Year
Robert R. Hughes Tailor Abergele 1821 1891
  • See the double lines at the bottom? That is a Ghost line until there is data in it. I can then copy the empty lines as many times as I want and add more data
Name Occupation Place Birth Year Death Year
Robert R. Hughes Tailor Abergele 1821 1891
