Tables

      +

      Use a table to show the relationships between information.

      For example, use a table to list out properties or options and describe them:

      Option Description

      Type Identifier

      Set a type identifier to change how an index sets a document’s type.

      For more information about how to set a type identifier, see Set a Type Identifier.

      To add a table:

      • Introduce the table with a phrase that describes its contents and ends in a colon. For example, "the following default options are available:"

      • Add a vertical bar (|) followed by 4 equals signs (=) to mark the start and end of your table.

      • After the first |====, on a new line, add another vertical bar (|) and your first column name.

      • Make column names short but descriptive.

      • Group rows by entering all content on the same line, separated by vertical bars (|), or by entering the content for a row in a block separated by whitespace. For example:

        |====
        |Header Row, Column 1 |Header Row, Column 2
        
        |First Row, Column 1 |First Row, Column 2
        
        |Second Row, Column 1
        |Second Row, Column 2
        |====
      • If your table has more than 2 columns, you must set the proportional width of each column with the [cols=""] attribute before the opening |==== for your table. For example, if a table with 4 columns had [cols="1,1,1,2"], the last column would be 2× the width of all the other columns.
