Thanks Wayne, that was what I wanted to know, where to put the attributes. Looking forwards to the new editor! I will be out of a job for my "tricks up my sleeve" will be made redundant!

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] <mailto:[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). Appreciate any advice.
