== Splitting a table ==
Is there a way I can make a table split automatically - a sort of [[Template:Div col]] for tables? Thanks. [[User:Roscelese|Roscelese]] ([[User talk:Roscelese|talk]] ⋅ [[Special:Contributions/Roscelese|contribs]]) 01:43, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
== tooltip in header row ==
I have seen a table in an article that has abbreviations in its header row ("ABC") that were marked somehow (maybe underlined with a dotted line) and when you hover your mouse cursor over the abbreviation a tooltip appeared with the full text ("Advanced Beta Collision"). This is very handy instrument - because sometimes you want to present a short yes/no (or small number) in the column, but the name of the column is long and if you have multiple such long-named-columns the table becomes too wide. Using such tooltips solves the problem.
Does anyone know where I can find (again, because I don't remember where I saw it) such article or how to do such tooltips? [[User:Alinor|Alinor]] ([[User talk:Alinor|talk]]) 06:16, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

::Before you use {{Tl|Abbr}}, you should consider [[:Template:H:title]] (<tt><nowiki>{{H:title|Advanced Beta Collision|ABC}}</nowiki></tt> gives {{H:title|Advanced Beta Collision|ABC}}. Apparently, this has some advantages for vision-impaired users who use screen readers; see [[Talk:Spiccato#Abbr element in sound file description]]. Maybe you could ask [[User:Graham87]] to review your edit. -- [[User:Michael Bednarek|Michael Bednarek]] ([[User talk:Michael Bednarek|talk]]) 11:14, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
:::Marking abbreviations with {{T|Abbr}} is a good thing indeed, and it is accessible to blind users (and others) like [[User:Graham87]]. However, [[:Template:H:title]] uses incorrect tricks to produce the same appearance, and thus is not accessible to blind users such as Graham87. Since H:title is used for just about anything, and not only abbreviations, this issue is difficult to fix. Cheers, [[User:Dodoïste|Dodoïste]] ([[User talk:Dodoïste|talk]]) 13:54, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
== Sort by name in table ==
== Table floating a distance from the left ==
I'm drafting an article on a poem in a dialect of English. The actual poem will be a column down the left. Readers not acquainted with the dialect will need a glossary, which I would like to: be vertically on the same level as the text and about 10em to the right of the text, not right-aligned; formatted as a table, so that each entry is a row and there is a title "Glossary" at the top of the table. Can any one help me? --[[User:Philcha|Philcha]] ([[User talk:Philcha|talk]]) 19:40, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

== Organizing this help page ==
This page drives me nuts, and probably the 400 others who visit it each day. Nobody wants to fix it up because it's daunting. I have a plan. I'm going to boldly do it, (probably).
