Table Tutorial

Basic Structure

All tables require at least three tags: <table>, <tr>, and <td> (in that order).

Start with your <table> tag.

<table>
</table>

To add a row, add a <tr> and </tr> after <table>.

<table>
    <tr>
    </tr>
</table>

To add a column, add a <td> and </td> after <tr>. Columns must be inside the rows.

<table>
    <tr>
        <td>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

Your text and other content must go inside the <td> and </td> tags.

Column 1, Row 1 Column 2, Row 1
Column 1, Row 2 Column 2, Row 2
Column 1, Row 3 Column 2, Row 3
