Template:Aligned table/doc

Known limitations

• It is not currently recommended to combine use of this template with conventional table syntax due to differing approaches.
• It is not possible to use a custom header line which contains rowspan elements.
• When used in a multi-page transclusion (see usage notes below) , no indvidual page numbers will be displayed next to the relevant table portions,

(owing to interaction limitations with Proofread Page and LST).

| (cell 1,1) | (cell 1,2) | ... | ...
| (cell 2,1) | (cell 2,2) | ... | ...
}}

First Page (footer) :

{{Aligned table|noheader=yes|nobody=yes}}

Continuing pages (header):

{{Aligned table
| nofooter=yes <!--  required if data extends over more than one page.-->
| row1header=yes <!-- to mark first row as the headers.  -->
| (header call 1,1) | (header cell 1,2)|... |...
}}

Continuing pages (body):

{{Aligned table
| noheader=yes; nofooter=yes <!--  required if data extends over more than one page.-->
... 
| (data cell x,1) | (data cell x,2)|... |... 
| (data cell x+1,1) | (data cell x+1,2)|... |... 
}}

Continuing pages (footer) as for first page. Last page header as for continuing pages.

Last page body.

{{Aligned table
| noheader=yes; <!--  required if data extends over more than one page. nofooter line is absent -->
... 
| (data cell x,1) | (data cell x,2)|... |...
