HTML Table Generator

Core Structural Tags

<table>

The main wrapper element that defines the start and end of the entire table structure.

<tr> (Table Row)

Defines a horizontal row of cells within the table.

<th> (Table Header)

Defines a header cell, typically used in the first row or column. By default, browsers render text inside header cells as bold and centered.

<td> (Table Data)

Defines a standard data cell containing the actual content (text, links, images, etc.).

Semantic Layout Container Terms

For larger, accessible data sets, tables are broken into three structural zones:

<thead>

Groups the header rows at the top of the table.

<tbody>

Groups the primary body content and rows of the data set.

<tfoot>

Groups the summary or footer rows at the bottom of the table.

Layout Attributes & Modifiers

colspan

An attribute applied to table cells to make a single cell stretch horizontally across multiple columns.

rowspan

An attribute applied to table cells to make a single cell stretch vertically down across multiple rows.

<caption>

An optional tag placed immediately after the opening table element that provides a clear title or description for the entire table dataset.
