Tabular Columns
Tabular columns may be used using this coding.
{| |- Valign="top" | * * | * * |}
Sorting Data
At times, page names need to be sorted in a different manner than they are typed.
{{DEFAULTSORT: Gerstenslager Company, The}}
Rather than Wiki sorting the name of the company under The Gerstenslager Company, this code will tell Wiki to sort the name under Gerstenslager
Tables
To create a sortable table:
{| class="wikitable sortable" |- ! Heading 1||Heading 2||Heading 3||Heading 4 |- ||Data 1||Data 2||Data 3||Data 4 |- ||Data 5||Data 6||Data 7||Data 8 |- ||Data 9||Data 10||Data 11||Data 12 |- |}
To create a nonsortable table:
{| class="wikitable" |- ! Heading 1||Heading 2||Heading 3||Heading 4 |- ||Data 1||Data 2||Data 3||Data 4 |- ||Data 5||Data 6||Data 7||Data 8 |- ||Data 9||Data 10||Data 11||Data 12 |- |}
To create a table with a color background that appears on the right margin, page text floats around table. NOTE: Table code must appear above text.
{| class="wikitable" style="color:white; background-color:#0000FF; float:right; margin-left: 10px;" ! colspan="2" style="color:white; background-color:#0000FF;" | Current Contact Information |- |Address |Data 1 |- |Phone |Data 2 |- |Contact Person |Data 3 |- |Email |Data 4 |}
Inserting Images
- Open the page that the images will go on in edit mode.
- Drag and drop the files into the "Drop files here" box.
- Upload the images.
- Insert images as file or in a gallery.
To insert images as thumbnails:
[[File:Image1.jpg|200px||thumbnail||right|This caption is for Image1]]
- When inserting the image as a thumbnail the 200px can be changed. The larger the number, the larger the image.
- Wiki editors can indicate whether the thumbnail should be place on the left, center or right.
To insert images in a row, or "gallery" format:
<gallery> File:Image_name.jpg|This caption is for Image. File:Image2_name.jpg|This caption is for Image2. </gallery>
