Help:Table caption
From The Scuba Wiki
| MediaWiki Handbook: Contents, Readers, Editors, Moderators, System admins +/- |
The caption tag is used inside the HTML element "table". This can also be done indirectly using the code "|+" as part of the wikicode for a table.
It places texts above the table, by default. Texts can also be below, at the left or at the right side of the table, based on the "align" parameter's value.
| In the rightside table, the texts This is a Caption showing a caption. |
| |||||||
| Wiki code: |
{| border="1"
|+ This is a Caption
! Data-Type-1 !! Data-Type-2
|-
| Data-1a || Data-2a
|-
| Data-1b || Data-2b
|}
| |||||||
| Html code: | <table border="1"> <caption> This is a Caption </caption> <tr> <th> Data-Type-1 </th><th> Data-Type-2 </th> </tr><tr> <td> Data-1a </td><td> Data-2a </td> </tr><tr> <td> Data-1b </td><td> Data-2b </td> </tr> </table> | |||||||
A html <caption> tag can be created by using following wiki code:
|+ Caption
which generates the following html code:
<caption>Caption</caption>
You can also use parameters in wiki code:
|+ params|Caption
which will generate below html code:
<caption params>Caption</caption>
CSS box model equivalent:
display: table-caption;
Caption tag accepts following parameters:
align = "top|bottom|left|right" (Deprecated html parameter)
(Html "align" is valid for ~IE 6).
Equivalent stylesheet parameter:
style="caption-side: top|bottom|left|right|inherit;"
| In the rightside table, the texts Caption at bottom showing a bottom side caption. |
| |||||||
| Wiki code: |
{| border="1" |+ align="bottom" style="caption-side: bottom" | Caption at '''bottom''' ! Data-Type-1 !! Data-Type-2 |- | Data-1a || Data-2a |- | Data-1b || Data-2b |} | |||||||
For a bottom side, right aligned caption texts:
|+ align="bottom" style="caption-side: bottom; text-align: right;" | Caption at bottom
