Editing Help:Table (section)

=== Height ===

The height of the whole table can be specified using standard CSS style properties on the [[#Wikicode syntax tutorial|§&nbsp;start table indicator]] line:

<syntaxhighlight lang=wikitext highlight=1,6 class=gridbox>
{| class=wikitable style=height:14em;
  . . .
|}
</syntaxhighlight>

Note that you may also specify the [[#Row style|§&nbsp;height of individual rows]], and if they add up to more than the table height you specified or if word wrapping increases row height, the table height you specified will be ignored and the table height increased as needed to accommodate all the rows (except on mobile where the bottom of the table will be cut off).
