→"Dumbing down" of guide: Okay, yes, it's "dumber". So are people who have never edited a table in Wikipedia. |

:*style="" IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR HTML ATTRIBUTES. HTML attributes can be class, style, rowspan, collspan etc. . By the changes you're confusing things.
:Look before completely rearranging things for the worse, how about some discussion? You seem to have confusion about BASIC TABLE MARKUP versus more advanced topics. Build a sandbox and invite people in. The reason the guide was not longer is because it is a guide to BASIC MARKUP, and this should be distinguished from more advanced topics, which have no place in these guides. But basic table markup needs to be fully described and a groundwork for more advanced topics. <b style="font-family:'Segoe Script',cursive;">[[User:Mrjulesd|<span style="color:orange;">--Jules</span>]] [[User talk:Mrjulesd|(Mrjulesd)]]</b> 23:20, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
::{{replyto|Mrjulesd}} I've been editing Wikipedia articles for more than nine years, and I've never added HTML to any article page. I don't consider HTML code, in articles, to be basic, in any way, shape, or form, be that for tables or for anything else. In particular, I don't think discussion of HTML belongs in an introductory tutorial. The whole point of wikitext is to shield editors from the incredible variety of HTML that is possible, some of which will break Wikipedia page formatting.
::As I wrote in another section, below, the best way to move forward with the tutorial is ''to suggest specific language''. Other than HTML, do you have any ''specific'' recommendations regarding the tutorial as now written? And by "specific", I mean specific suggested wording or wording changes, either made directly (per [[WP:BB]]), or suggested on this page. -- <font style="font-family:Brush Script MT; font-size:15px;">[[User:John Broughton|John Broughton]] </font> [[User talk:John Broughton |(♫♫)]] 00:27, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
