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.
