Tables

Tables in MMX are written as rows of |-separated values inside a #table ... #endtable block. The first argument after #table controls how the header cells are rendered.

Basic syntax

#table [mode] [optional classes]
header|cell|cell
row   |cell|cell
#endtable

mode -- v (vertical, default), h (horizontal), b (both sides), or omitted (same as v).
optional classes -- extra CSS classes attached to the <table> element.
Cells are separated by |. Whitespace around the value is trimmed automatically.
The first row of a table is always the header when the mode is h or b.

The full source of the examples below is also available as a file at assets/code/tableExamples.txt.

Examples

Vertical table (default)

The first column is rendered as a header on the left, the rest as data cells.

Name	Score	State
Alice	95	Pass
Bob	87	Pass

Horizontal table

The first row is rendered as a header on top, the rest as data rows.

Name	Score	State
Alice	95	Pass
Bob	87	Pass

Both sides table

Both the first row and the first column become headers. The leading space in the first line is optional -- it is kept only for readability.

	Name	Score
Yesterday	Alice	95
Today	Bob	87

Undefined mode

If you omit the mode, the table is treated as a vertical table.

Title	Description
Item 1	Text
Item 2	More text

Notes

Note:

Inside a table cell, the inline patterns of MMX still work -- you can use bold, italic, inline code, links and even inline images.

Note:

A table with zero data rows renders as an empty <table>. The header row is always present when the mode is h or b.
