This is Robin's sandbox for planning tables and other clever things.

Calendars, Gregorian and other
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregorian_calendar

"England, Scotland and thereby the rest of the British Empire (including part of what is now the United States) did not adopt it until 1752, by which time it was necessary to correct by eleven days (2 September 1752 being followed by 14 September, 1752). "

Must work out the calendar[s] being used in 1642. Robin Patterson 00:57, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Tables
http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_User%27s_Guide:_Using_tables - temporarily copied some here (needing "edit this page" to see and copy them properly):

Careful: You must include the space between {| and params, or the first parameter gets ignored.

[edit]TD Cells are generated either like this: |cell1 |cell2 |cell3 or like this: |cell1||cell2||cell3 which both equals cell1 cell2  cell3 so "||" equals "newline"+"|" Parameters in cells can be used like this:

|params|cell1 which will result in

[edit]TH Functions the same way as TD, except "!" is used instead the opening "|". "!!" can be used instead of "||". Parameters still use "|", though! Example: !params|cell1

[edit]TR tags will be generated automatically for the first row. To start a new row, use |- which results in Parameters can be added like this: |- params which results in Note:

tags will be automatically opened at the first equivalent tags will be automatically closed at and equivalents

[edit]CAPTION A tag is created by |+ Caption which generates Caption You can also use parameters: |+ params|Caption which will generate Caption

[edit]Examples

[edit]Simple example generates Cell 1, row 1 Cell 2, row 1 Cell 1, row 2 Cell 2, row 2

Now a fairly blank 3-column table (with heading) for copying:

Now a 4-column table based on that one:
