Table Formats

This page is a list of all the different table styles we use on this wiki, along with examples on their useage. It's currently a work in progress and is being actively updated with more styles.

Formatting for Tables

We are working hard to create a unique wiki for the Horizon server. One of the ways that we are trying to achieve this is through tables. These can be found across all FFXI based wikis and here it is no different. The plan is to provide editors with a simple and comprehensive way of creating tables, unique to Horizon wiki.

An editor will need to include three classes to any table to achieve a wide variety of styles. These classes fall into one of three categories: table style (borders, margins, padding etc), table size and table color. Simply combine the three, one class from each category to create a table.

Example: 

{| class="horizon-table table-md bastokmissions"
! Heading 1
! Heading 2
! Heading 3
|-
| Content 1
| Content 2
| Content 3
|}


Will give us this table which has the "horizon-table" table style, is medium sized (775pxs wide) and has the table color we use on "Bastok Missions":

Heading 1 Heading 2 Hading 3
Content 1 Content 2 Content 3


Editors can still make further changes to these tables such as "column widths", "rowspans" etc without issue. Please see below for a full list of all the table classes available.
