Hi David, Within the next fortnight we'll be implementing the WYSIWYG editor on WE. So in the near future you won't need to mess around with wiki syntax for tables :-). However, if you're in a hurry you can add XHTML attributes to Mediawiki tables - See: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tables Assume this simple 2-cell table: {| class=prettytable |- | Cell 1 | Cell 2 |- |} You can, for instance specify the background color, alignment and width of Cell 1 as follows: {| class=wikitable |- | width=60% bgcolor=#cc align=left | Cell 1 | Cell 2 |- |} (Note the insertion of the additional pipe | after the attributes for Cell 1. ) Cheers Wayne 2010/1/24 David Leeming leem...@pipolfastaem.gov.sb Hi, a techie question I have been using Open Office to create tables and export as MediaWiki code to the Wikieducator.

Re: [WikiEducator] Tables cell aliagnment
Hi Nellie, We're currently working on revising the tutorials for RTE -- working through the backlog of my vacation email but will post an invite to the WE community and facilitators to take a look and help us polish the revisions of the tutorials needed for the new WYSIWYG implementation. Folk who still want to use standard wiki sytax can still do so and will be able to use our existing tutorials. We'll need to look at our workshop formats and see what refinements may be necessary for the RTE implementation. Hopefully with RTE we will be able to reduce the learning curve and time needed to reach basic wiki editing proficiency.

Re: [WikiEducator] Tables cell aliagnment
Hi David, Don't worry -- you'll be learning new tricks for the benefit of the open education movement :-) The advantage with WYSIWYG editing is that workshop facilitators will be able to focus on the more important aspects associated with pedagogy and strategies for collaborative editing. I think that RTE will remove a major barrier to using wikis for newbies and lower the learning curve thus giving facilitators more time to focus on the more important components of collaborative authoring etc. Given the time WE will save in teaching basic wiki editing -- what additional learning outcomes should we incorporate into a L4C workshop? This will help us determine gaps for future tutorial development.
