Those who create content and maintain pages in the Canisius College wiki should follow a consistent set of guidelines for organization and page style. Visitors - students, faculty, staff, and outside clients - should encounter a consistent experience wherever they are in the wiki. For example, if you neglect to add menus, use headings, follow good practices for linking file attachments, and removing out of date content, your intended visitors may fail to find, or worse, find the wrong information in your wiki pages.
Happily, the tools and practices described below are simple and easy to follow.
...
Click Table icon in the toolbar, and the wiki prompts you to choose how many cells you would like. You can add or remove rows and columns later. By default, the wiki highlights a header row, but you can avoid that by holding down the shift key when you select your cells.
Once you install a table, Confluence provides another toolbar level with tools specifically for tables. You can activate this toolbar at any time in the page editor, by clicking within a table cell.
You can experiment with the various table options, to see how they work. A nice accent is to select each cell, row, or column, and use the color picker menu (second from the right) to choose various pastel colors. Obviously, Blue and Yellow are appropriate!
Another helpful tip: you can use a single Table cell just to act as a highlight box for particularly important text. For example:
| Your Readers are more likely to notice this, because it is in a single table cell. |
