Page layouts (using multiple columns, positioning elements, adding borders, etc.) should be done via CSS, not tables, whenever possible. Images and other embedded media should be positioned using standard image syntax. There are several templates available that will create preformatted multi-column layouts: see Help:Columns.

More template styles for tables: {{sticky header}} - Makes column headers stick to the top of the page while scrolling through table data. {} - moves the sorting arrows under the headers. {{row hover highlight}} - adds row hover highlighting, and option for white background. {{static row numbers}} - adds a column of row numbers to a table.
For years in HTML, a table has always forced an implicit line-wrap (or line-break).

The purpose is of this template is for generating simple tables in locations where standard table markup is either not possible, without significant use of the {{!}} magic word (e.g., with a {{}} template), or cumbersome (due to the repetitive use of specification of the same style statement in each row).
