Hi - I have a table with a different number of rows in each column in phpwiki: http://web.mit.edu/london/www/table.htm Can I make a similar table in mediawiki? I can't find any example on the web for how to do this. Thanks. - Mark

Yes, use the standard HTML "rowspan" attribute for the leftmost cell. |- | rowspan="17" | On alcback1 |- DanB -----Original Message----- Hi - I have a table with a different number of rows in each column in phpwiki: http://web.mit.edu/london/www/table.htm Can I make a similar table in mediawiki?

Hi - Thanks for the information about rowspan! I had only been able to find the following web page on tables, which only covered the more basic commands for making tables: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tables I wasn't aware of the meta help pages, which have a lot more information. - Mark
