9.1. Tables

You can code tables in JAWS with the pipe symbol (|). In tables you can use the markup for bold text and source code. The inline source cannot contain line breaks.

[Note] Note

Tables cannot be used inside of the itemization environment. You cannot use itemizations inside of tables.

Example 1. Table with two columns

The following code show a table consists of two columns.

|Colum 1|Colum 2|
|Value 1|Value 2|
        

By default all values in a cloumn are left-facing. You can adjust the alignment if you insert a line with the adjustment. The adjustment is valid till you add another adjustment line. If you insert --- the text will be left-facing and :---: for justified and ---: for right-facing.

Example 2. Adjust columns in tables

The following source code will adjust the content of columns. In the first column the values Column 1 and 1 will be left-facing and the value 4 will be justfied. In the second column the values Column 2 and 2 will be justified and the value 5 will be right-facing. In the third column the values Column 3 and 3 will be right-facing and the value 6 will be left-facing.

|---     |:---:   |---:    |        
|Column 1|Column 2|Column 3|
|1       |2       |3       |
|:---:   |---:    |---     |
|4       |5       |6       |
