Templates:
 * adds multiple line breaks.
 * adds a true carriage return and line feed.
 * adds a break with styling to clear floating elements.
 * creates an unbulleted list.

Line break symbols
What is the difference between these two line-break symbols (below)? And which is the correct one to use here in Wikipedia articles?


 * XHTML
 * HTML

Wikitable question about rowspan and colspan
This is a question about the correct syntax (if that's the right word?) for using rowspan and colspan in a Wikitable. I seem to be able to use "rowspan" by itself. And I seem to be able to use "colspan" by itself. But, I can't seem to make both functions work together at the same time, with the same cell. So, what would be the exact "code" that I would type in my Wikitable if, say for example, I wanted a cell to span 5 rows and 3 columns? By the way, I want to use the "rowspan" function, if possible; not the "row height" function. Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 02:33, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
 * See Help:Table for an example. The syntax is simple like . The hard part is building a correct table with it. If you have problems then post or link your attempt and say how you want it. PrimeHunter (talk) 10:39, 29 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Hmmmmm.  I dunno.  I tried that.  And it "screwed up" the whole chart.  Let me type an example below (in a few minutes).  Thanks.   Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 13:57, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

OK. Thanks. I am back, with my example. Below is my "original" chart. Then, below that, is my "revised" chart.

On the "original" chart, I want to add a "heading". The heading will state: Below is all of the updated information. I want this heading (cell) to span several columns and several rows.

So, I created my "revised" chart.

Everything is what I want, except for one thing. In the "revised chart", I want that "heading" to have more height (i.e., I want that row to be taller). So, as you can see, I can get the "colspan" to work well (namely, to "spread out" across all 4 columns). But, whenever I add in a "rowspan" function / code, everything gets screwed up. I tried with several variations of "syntax", punctuation, etc. It always screws up the rest of the chart.

Also: As I stated above:  I want to use the "rowspan" function, if possible; not the "row height" function.

Revised chart
Any help (and explanation) is appreciated. Thanks! Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 14:29, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
 * That is not what rowspan is for. The purpose of rowspan is to make a cell which spans multiple cells somewhere to the right or left of the cell. Each row must have at least one cell starting in that row. That is a html rule and not specific to wikitext. A table-wide rowspan="5" would have 4 rows with no cells starting. And even if this had been allowed by html, it wouldn't change the height of the row. Rows are by default only as high as needed to display their content. There are many other ways to make a tall cell with blank space, e.g. blank lines made with . PrimeHunter (talk) 16:03, 29 July 2018 (UTC)


 * OK. Thanks.  So you are saying: that for what I want, I cannot use "rowspan", and I essentially have to use "row height" ... correct?  (The problem with using "blank break spaces" is that it places the text at the top of the tall row and leaves a lot of blank white space in the rest of the tall row.  As opposed to, perhaps, centering the text within a tall row.)   You said there are many other ways?  What are some?  Other than the "row height function" and the use of "blank break spaces"?  Or, rather, what's the easiest one?  Thanks so much! Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 16:45, 29 July 2018 (UTC)


 * You cannot use rowspan. You can place  both before and after the text. You can use style="height: 5em;" in the row or in the cell. You can use style="padding: 2em;" to control the whitespace around the text. I made an example with each of these four methods. There are others methods but four should be plenty.

 * Thanks. I really appreciate all the help.  Thanks, also, for the help a few days ago with the Shakespeare User Box.  Much appreciated!  Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 21:18, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
