Now that we have a table created, we need to add some borders so it will look more like a table.

Add border attribute in opening table tag
 {| style=" border:  1px solid red "
 * To add a border to a table, add the border attribute to the opening table tag like so:
 * NOTICE the space between the pipe and the word "style".

Here is the table with the border added: Reminder, the types and border treatments are in lesson Help:Wiki University Wikitext--Borders in the beginning Wikitext's lessons.

Cell borders
You can also put borders around cells:

Each cell now has its own border.


 * NOTICE the width of the table is determined by the text in the cells.
 * NOTICE each cell has the border attribute placed in it. It is a lot of work, but this is the only way it works in the Wiki.

Here is the coding:




 * NOTICE the |- row tag acts like a separator between the attribute in the opening table tag and the next cell.
 * NOTICE that a pipe separates the attribute from the text in the cell. The pipe must be there.
