New subject: differences between tables creation from wiki language

24 Jul 2005

Hi there...
I've just installed mediawiki 1.4.7

And now I have a question. I've created the next table:

{| style="margin:0 auto" align=center class="toccolours"
style="clear:both;"
|-
{| class="toccolours"  style="margin: 0 2em 0 2em;"
! style="background:#ccccff" align="center" width="100%"|
California 
|-
|align=center colspan=2| A 
|-
|align=center colspan=2| B
|}

and checked the result html code on my wiki and on wikipedia site. And
the was different view.
On my wiki site it was like:

<table style="margin:0 auto" align=center class="toccolours"
style="clear:both;">
<table class="toccolours" style="margin: 0 2em 0 2em;">
<tr >
<th style="background:#ccccff" align="center"
width="100%"> California
</th></tr>
<tr >
<td align=center colspan=2> A
</td></tr>
<tr >
<td align=center colspan=2> B
</td></tr></table>
</table>

On wikipedia site just only one table was created:
 <table style="clear:both;" align="center"
class="toccolours">
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th style="background:#ccccff" align="center"
width="100%">California</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" colspan="2">A</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" colspan="2">B</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p><br /></p>
<br style="clear:both;" />

Why it is so different?
I think the second peace  of code is much better. How can I set up it?

Thank you and sory for my english.
