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="#ffffcc" 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 <[email protected]> > Hi, a techie question > > > > I have been using Open Office to create tables and export as MediaWiki code > to the Wikieducator. I would like to know how to force cell alignment (i.e. > top, left justified).
