The purpose is of this template is for generating simple tables in locations where standard table markup is either not possible, without significant use of the {{!}} magic word (e.g., with a {{sidebar}} template), or cumbersome (due to the repetitive use of specification of the same style statement in each row). This template should not be used to replace standard table markup in articles. This template is meant to be complementary to {{infobox}} or {{sidebar}}, and not a replacement for {{infobox}} or {{sidebar}}.
A simpler method to include a table in a template that does not directly support table markup is to create the table in a sub-template using standard markup and transclude it.
Table caption above table. The caption is optional.
|title=Caption: example table
Not set
cols
Number of columns in the table.
|cols=4
2
fullwidth
If set (to anything, "on", "true", "yes", etc.), ensures table spans entire width available.
(Effect is to remove border-spacing and add width:100% to the table's styling.)
If set (to anything, "on", "true", "yes", etc.) adds "white-space:nowrap;" to the CSS style of cell in column Template:Var (i.e., to prevent lines within its cells from wrapping; or include "nowrap" in colTemplate:Varclass or "white-space:nowrap;" in colTemplate:Varstyle).
Each unnamed parameter is taken to be the next cell in the table, starting at the table's top left corner and working left to right from top to bottom.
