===Positioning===
One can position the table itself, and all contents in a row, and contents in a cell, but not with a single parameter all contents in the table, see [[m:Template talk:Table demo]]. Do not, under any circumstances, use "float" to position a table. It will break page rendering at large font sizes.

Here's a more advanced example, showing some more options available for making up tables. You can play with these settings in your own table to see what effect they have. Not all of these techniques may be appropriate in all cases; just because you can add colored backgrounds, for example, doesn't mean it's always a good idea. Try to keep the markup in your tables relatively simple -- remember, other people are going to be editing the article too! This example should give you an idea of what is possible, though.
