Bogleheads:Article templates

If you find yourself using similar text again and again, please create a template (using a name such as Template:xxx).

Templates must include  syntax so that they automatically appear in the relevant section of the  Templates category page.

They should also include a brief description of what they do so that a reader accessing the template from the category page will know what it does. Enclose this description inside  tags so that it is not part of the template.

Here are some templates that may be helpful in creating your articles.

Template Table does nothing by itself. The table template simply establishes some simple table formatting such as a 1 pixel border and shaded column headings.

No tedious hand-coding of tables required!
