GUIDE OVERVIEW / WEBPAGE & WEBSITE

Building informational tables in HTML

Build one useful table, one manageable step at a time.

We will use a community workshop schedule throughout this guide. You will learn what each tag communicates, how headers relate to values, and what to check before publishing.

What you will learn

Recognize tabular information and avoid layout tables.
Mark up rows, header cells, and data cells.
Connect headers to their rows and columns.
Add a caption, organize rows, and test the result.

You need a text editor and a browser. Basic familiarity with HTML opening and closing tags will help. Jump to any chapter using the chapter panel; the same links are available on mobile.

The finished example

Both workshops take place at the community center. Times are local.

This reference preview includes the header relationships and caption explained across the chapters.
