As you probably know Eclipsepedia has table formatting, but the default tables do not have borders around cells and the styling is pretty - well uh, ugly. The standard examples show you how to turn on some basic formatting, but the end result is not all that pleasing.
Since the pages I edit have quite a lot of tables I wanted something easy to use. (As I can't edit the CSS stylesheet(s) myself, I have created some templates for the Buckminster pages that you also can use if you like.
Sample code | What it looks like | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Here is an example using the wiki "pipe syntax":
{|{{BMTableStyle}} |+{{BMTableCaptionStyle}}|The Heading of your table |-{{BMTHStyle}} ! Column 1 Heading ! Column 2 Heading |- | Row 1, Cell 1 || Row 1, Cell 2 |- | Row 2, Cell 1 || Row 2, Cell 2 |- | and so on... || and so on... |- |} |
Which produces a nice looking table like this:

Caveats
- This would be even nicer if done via CSS instead.
- It is not possible to completely control styling this way. An even better looking table style is possible if adding to the CSS (hint).
