=== Tables ===
'''Tables''' are great for organizing information, they may be a bit more complicated than lists, but they look great!

We have a specific style that we would like everyone to use for their tables.  Please use <nowiki>{{DefTable}}</nowiki> in your table header whenever possible, as shown here:

<pre>{| {{DefTable}}</pre>

DefTable sets the color of table, padding, and size of border.  This keeps tables consistent and makes styles easy to update throughout the wiki wherever this template is used.  See [[Template:DefTable]] for details on use.

Sample table code:

<pre>
{| {{DefTable}}
|+ This is the table title
! left side box 1
| right side box 1
|   <-- Just add "|" to add more horizontal cells.
|-  <-- This denotes the end of a line.
! left box 2  <-- Using "!" instead of "|" makes the cell's text appear centered and in bold.
| right box 2
| additional box on same line
|
|-
| box 3 left
| box 3 center
| box 3 second center
| box 3 right
|}
</pre>

'''NOTE:''' The "<-- text" parts are comments for your benefit and should not be included in an actual table.

The above code displays like this:

{| {{DefTable}}
|+ This is the table title
! left side box 1
| right side box 1
|
|- 
! left box 2
| right box 2
| additional box on same line
|
|-
| box 3 left
| box 3 center
| box 3 second center
| box 3 right
|}

If you want a bit more space between the text and the table's borders use '''<nowiki>{{DefTable|cellpad=5}}</nowiki>''' (default cellpad is 4) in the table header.
