When it creates a table it uses class="prettytable" Not sure why the class doesn't work
I'm not sure I understand; what does not work - the CSS styling? You could apply styling by adding something like the following to [[MediaWiki:Common.css]]:
table.prettytable { border-collapse: collapse; }
table.prettytable th, table.prettytable td { border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px; }
table.prettytable th { background-color: #EEE; }
I think there were 2 other things but they were all really small like this
That a lot better than I would have expected - so I'm definitely gonna give this a try sometime soon.
