"Advance Option"
You can of course also create a table in the wiki text but this is not that easy. However, once you know what you are doing it is a comfortable tool for editing tables.
If you are interested, see here or just create one with the editor and see what changes in WikiText result in.
Some basic explanations:
- cell spacing describes the space between the cells in the tables in pixels
- cell padding describes the space between the cells' borders and the text inside them
- width describes the tables width. Note that it is possible to give cells a specific width which will be used for all the cells in a column.
