The result formats table and broadtable are used to format query results as tables. The format table is the default way of formatting query results for all queries that have one or more additional printout statements.

Example

{{#ask: [[Category:City]] [[located in::Germany]] 
| ?population
| ?area#km² = Size in km²
}}

This produces the following output:

Population Size in km²
Berlin 33914073,391,407 891690000891.69 km²891,690,000 m²

The broadtable merely stretches the table to 100% of the available width:

{{#ask: [[Category:City]] [[located in::Germany]] 
| ?population
| ?area#km² = Size in km²
| format=broadtable
}}

This produces the following output:

Population Size in km²

Parameters

There are no inline query parameters specific to the table or broadtable formats. The parameter headers=hide is specifically useful for hiding the header of tables (in most other cases, it is enough to use empty printout labels to hide the titles of printout statements).

Remarks

Tables have a special feature for sorting their contents by any of the columns in the table. See Help:Selecting results for general comments on sorting and a comparion to the wiki's query result sorting. Browsers without JavaScript enabled will not see the buttons for sorting at all.

SMW formats its tables with CSS class="smwtable". Using this class on other tables to achieve similar formatting is possible, but will only work reliably if the according page contains a query or other SMW specific elements. In other cases, the SMW style files will not be loaded at all, so the style is not available.

This documentation page applies to all SMW versions from 0.4 to the most current version.
