---|---|

You can also make a sortable table like this. Try clicking the header.
{| class="sortable" id="pick-a-unique-id" ! adjective||noun |- |exciting||table |- |sortable||data |- |appropriate||JavaScript |}
adjective | noun |
---|---|
exciting | table |
sortable | data |

You can also put in pretty pictures. You'll first need to upload them. See also Help:Pictures.
[[Image:Cribbage500_margit.jpg|right|thumbnail|An image on the right with a caption.]]
If the picture already exists on the Internet, you could conceivably remote-link it, though people frown upon this practice. To do this, simply paste the URL of the picture into the page, like this:
http://www.williams.edu/athletics/images/cow.gif
http://www.williams.edu/athletics/images/cow.gif
If you are going to put an email address, please use this tag. It hides the address from spam robots.
