Table tips:

For collapse border table with indent e.g. {{ts|ba|bc|margin-left:45px}}

HTML table with collapsed border: <table border=1; style="border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse;">

Column or Rowspan with border: colspan="2" style="border: 1px solid black;"

Row height:|- style=line-height:85%;

Hanging indent (first line left) <td style="width: 50%; vertical-align: top; padding-left:1.0em; text-indent:-1.0em;"> (padding-left:2.0em; for 2nd column for gap between columns.)

Table with border-all header and column rules {| class="tablecolhdborder" (and use {{Ts|fwn}} for non-bold header test if desired) e.g. Paestum

span table across pages: Page:EB1911 - Volume 24.djvu/958
