Tables

Basic syntax for table is

{| [opt-table-attr] 
|- [opt-line-attr]
|[opt-cell-attr |]Orange
|[opt-cell-attr |]Apple
|- [opt-line-attr
|[opt-cell-attr |]
|[opt-cell-attr |]Pie
|- [opt-line-attr
|[opt-cell-attr |]Butter |[opt-cell-attr]| Ice cream 
|}
Table can be easily formatted using templates like:
{| {{Prettytable}}
|-
|{{Hl2}}|First
|Second
|-
|Third
|{{Hl2}}|Fourth
|}
First Second
Third Fourth
Or better yet, using CSS (eg. see MediaWiki:Common.css) class wikitable
{| class="wikitable"
|-
!First
|Second
|-
|Third
!Fourth
|}
First Second
Third Fourth
