Editing Brighter Shores:Style guide/Wiki code (section)

==Tables==
In the mainspace, tables should always be created using the wiki syntax instead of using HTML tags. In other namespaces (specifically Template: and Module:) it might be required to use the HTML tags instead.

Except for very simple tables, multi-line row formatting should be preferred, where each cell starts on its own line.

===Formatting===
Tables in mainspace articles should always have the class <code>"wikitable"</code>, unless there is a specific reason why this is omitted. CSS classes for tables should be placed in the following order:<br>
wikitable, sortable, lighttable, mw-collapsible, mw-collapsed/uncollapsed

If present, the table header should be the first thing following the table opening.

The order that should be used for any style and attributes applied to a table, cell or row is:<br>
id, class, rowspan, colspan, style

===White-spacing===
A space should be placed between each table syntax element and table content, styling, and attributes. Empty cells should not contain anything, even a space, with the exception of an empty cell in the single-line row formatting as long as this is not the last cell of the row. In this case a single space should separate both cell boundary syntax elements.

Below are examples of the expected placement of white-spacing in both formats.

====Single-line row====
<pre>{| class="wikitable"
! Small table h1 !! h2
|-
| Cell1 ||
|}</pre>

====Multi-line row====
<pre>{| class="wikitable"
|+ Table header
|-
! Header cell 1
! id="header2" colspan="2" | Header cell 2
|-
| Content cell 1
| Content cell 2
|
|}</pre>
