Help:Wiki University Wikitext--Tables - Placement

Table placement
So far we have talked about the creation of tables and how to make them pleasant to look at. However, we need to look at how they are placed on a page and how they effect other items on the page. Here is an example: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec sit amet iaculis metus. Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas. Fusce elementum efficitur faucibus. Curabitur eleifend quis ligula ac ullamcorper. Curabitur eget suscipit turpis.
 * When the table is placed it usually shows up on the left side of the page under the last item added.
 * If other items are added, they will appear below the table above it.

 Exercises
 * With our above table place a yellow border, "groove" style and 10 pixels thick.
 * Made the table 700 pixels wide.
 * Next place a blue border around the headers.
 * Give the header cells a light blue background.
 * Change the color of the font to white.
