Editing Help:Collapsing tables and more (section)

===Tables with captions===
A table without a caption will collapse to its first row. A table <em>with</em> a caption will collapse to its caption, with no rows, therefore no width. Use <code>class="nowrap"</code> or {{tlx|nowrap}} to keep the caption from being squeezed into a vertical column when the table is collapsed.

{|class="wikitable" style="margin:0.5em auto;width:80%"
|-
!scope="col" width="60%"|Code entered
!scope="col" width="40%"|Output produced
|-
|width="60%"|
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{|class="wikitable sortable mw-collapsible" 
|+ class="nowrap" | Somewhat long table caption
! Name !! Score
|-
| John || 59
|-
| Bob || 72
|}</syntaxhighlight>
|width="40%"|
{|class="wikitable sortable mw-collapsible" 
|+ class="nowrap" | Somewhat long table caption
! Name !! Score
|-
| John || 59
|-
| Bob || 72
|}
|}

Next example uses '''{{tlx|nowrap}}''' where the end brackets become the wrap point. '''<code><style=max-width:Xem;</code>''' will not work.

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{|class="wikitable sortable mw-collapsible" 
|+ {{nowrap|A longer table caption needs to wrap}} for cell phones, etc.
