For years in HTML, a table has always forced an implicit line-wrap (or line-break). So, to keep a table within a line, the workaround is to put the whole line into a table, then embed a table within a table, using the outer table to force the whole line to stay together. Consider the following examples: Wikicode (showing table forces line-break)
In this example, the scope attribute defines what the headers describe, column or row, which screen readers use. You can add a table using HTML rather than wiki markup, as described at HTML element#Tables. However, HTML tables are discouraged because wikitables are easier to customize and maintain, as described at manual of style on tables.
Normally, copying and pasting columns or rows removes the inline CSS styling such as cell colors. There is a way to break up a table (a too-wide table for example) into more tables without losing all the background colors, and other inline styling. Copy the table to 2 sandboxes (or one sandbox, and in the article itself).
The template is compatible with collapsible tables, and cells using colspan or rowspan, in which case place the colspan/rowspan attribute between ! and {{diagonal split header 2 ...}}. It is not compatible with sortable tables, as the sort arrows are not drawn, but this problem can be resolved by using a second header row.
For complex layouts, rowspan and colspan may be used, but again it is sometimes simpler and more maintainable to use nested tables. Nested tables must start on a new line. In the following example, five different tables are shown nested inside the cells of a sixth, main table. None has any header cells.
This information, the colors and default texts are found in the table below. Important: If you want to use other attributes for the table cells, e.g. colspan, rowspan, or style, they need to be put before the template call, and there must be no vertical bar (aka pipe) | in-between them:
Background color on rows will look off if one of the cells spans multiple rows (ex. rowspan="2"). If the table is sortable, then this gets fixed once sorted since sortable collapses row spans. If the table is sortable, then this gets fixed once sorted since sortable collapses row spans.
