Help:How to make tables

Tables can help you put a lot of information in to a concentrated space. They are a little bit difficult to make so only read this if you are already farmiliar with how text formatting works. To start a table make a line with just "{|" and nothing else. On the next line put "|-" which means you are starting to put information in for the first row of the table. On the next line put a "|" which means you are making a cell in the row and put the contents of that cell on the rest of the line. On the next line put an other "|" and the contents of the second cell. To start the second row put "|- on the next line to signify a new row. Make a line at the end with "|}" to finish the table. Below you can see an example of what you would type to make a table and what it makes in the article.

You type	You get
{| |- |''Cabin'' |''Number of campers'' |- |Cabin 1 |4 |- |Cabin 6 |4 |- |Eagle's Nest |8 |- |Buzzard's Roost |8 |}	Cabin Number of campers Cabin 1 4 Cabin 6 4 Eagle's Nest 8 Buzzard's Roost 8

To make the thing above I actualyl used a table. I made a row with a cell You type and a cell You get. Then I made a new row with a cell for the box with the code in it and a cell with a table inside it. You can put tables inside tables. That was the only way I could have made it look like that, using a table. Tables can give you a lot of control over your page.
