table bbcode tutorial?

How do I use the [ table ] bbcode? My Wiki Codes do not tell much about it and I can not seem to figure it out.

new cell	cell data
Cell 2 \| Cell 3

So what about:

Table Border?
Cell Color
Colspan
Cell Headers

Code:

[noparse][table] class="tborder" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0"
|-
| new cell
| style="background-color: red" colspan="2" | This cell spans 2 columns.
|- align="center"
| class="thead" | new cell in new row
| row 2 cell 2
| row 2 cell 3
|-
[/table][/noparse]

new cell	This cell spans 2 columns.
new cell in new row	row 2 cell 2	row 2 cell 3

As you can see, you can apply classes, styles, the colspan property and more. For security reasons, only classes, styles, and attributes you define will work in the TABLE code. If you need to add more or remove any, you can do so using the vault_bbcode_table hook in vault/special_class_table.php.

Since the TABLE code is one of the more advanced BB-Codes, other wiki admins have created templates using the table code, and instruct their less advanced users to use the template instead.

How can I edit the Wiki Code page for Vault Wiki?

What specifically do you want to edit? The page is constructed from BB-Codes that match certain criteria, so if you wanted to add or remove BB-Codes, you would just need to modify those BB-Codes. To change the description for a BB-Code, you need to translate the phrases in the "VaultWiki FAQ" phrase group.
