Editing Help:Table (section)

=== Non-rectangular tables ===
{{tlx|diagonal split header|''HEADER-FOR-ROW-HEADERS''|''HEADER-FOR-COLUMN-HEADERS''}} can be used to diagonally split a header cell, as in the top-left cell in the rendered result below:<ref group=note>A simplified version of [[Template:Table_of_phase_transitions]]</ref>

<div class="box">
'''Wikitext'''
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" highlight="2">
{| class=wikitable
! {{diagonal split header|From|To}}
! Solid !! Liquid !! Gas
|-
! Solid
| Solid-solid transformation || Melting || Sublimation
|-
! Liquid
| Freezing || {{sdash}} || Boiling/evaporation
|-
! Gas
| Deposition || Condensation || {{sdash}}
|}
</syntaxhighlight></div>
<div class="box">

{| class=wikitable

! Solid !! Liquid !! Gas

Cell borders can be hidden by adding {{xt|<code>border: none; background: none;</code>}} to the style attributes of either the table or the cell,<ref group=note>Applying <code>background: none</code> to the entire table will, perhaps predictably, subtly alter its color palette.</ref> though this may not work in older browsers. Another use case for this is for implementing aligned multi-column tables:

<div class="box" style="max-width:25em;">

! Solid
