MT Textile tables and how they work
Understanding MT Textile Tables (simple examples)
Brad's MT Textile also creates tables on the fly. You can even create semi complex tables as well. Here are some examples I created as I was experimenting with MT Textile Tables.
table{width:300px}=. |>. This demonstrates a top row|^/2. !logo.gif!| |>^{background-color:yellow}. This shows you can use styles with table cells.

Picking apart a MT Textile example - closer look
table{width:300px}=. |\2. This demonstrates a column span. colspan = 2 |-/2. rowspan = 2, vertically centered |
|{background-color:yellow}. This shows you can use styles with table cells. |>. With alignment |
{background-color:#ccc}|_. Header cell, with row-level style assignment. | *Inline formatting* | And you can even span multiple lines now.|

The shaded blue area shows the first 2 rows if code. The rows spans across 2 column cells (column span) as show by \2 below and then are followed by 2 cells downward /2 (rowspan).

table{width:300px}=. |\2. This demonstrates a column span. colspan = 2 |-/2. rowspan = 2, vertically centered |
The above is followed by a hard return.

Next 2 additional rows are added under the first (shown in blue) using this code:

|{background-color:yellow}. This shows you can use styles with table cells. |>. With alignment |
After the last hard return, the row (colored in grey) is added. 3 cells are placed in line so you get the final table looking like this:
| This demonstrates a column span. colspan = 2 | rowspan = 2, vertically centered | |
| This shows you can use styles with table cells. | With alignment | |
| Header cell, with row-level style assignment. | Inline formatting | And you can even span multiple lines now. |
|---|---|---|
{background-color:#ccc}|_. Header cell, with row-level style assignment. | Inline formatting | And you can even span multiple lines now. |
Notice though that the {background-color:#ccc} precedes the entire row so that the color shows up in all 3 cells.
