Template:Table colspan

Documentation for Template:Table colspan [view] [edit] [history] [purge] (How does this work?)

{{table colspan|columns|cell-text|align=|style=}}

Parameters

columns (unnamed parameter 1)

The number of columns to span. To span the entire row, set this to the total number of columns in the table.

cell-text (unnamed parameter 2)

The text to display in the cell

align

Optional. This sets the alignment for the cell, and functions the same as normal cell align=[alignment].
Allowed values are "left", "center", "right". (The quotation marks are necessary.)

style

Optional. This sets the style for the cell, and functions the same as normal cell style=[specification].
This also requires quotation marks.

This template creates a new row, then creates a cell that spans the specified number of columns. This is intended for use with other table-row templates for visual clarity.

Because this creates a new row, it cannot be used to apply a colspan to cells that do not begin in the first column.
