| 5 | | However a constraint is that this HTML has to be well-formed. |
| 6 | | In particular you can't insert a start tag in an `#!html` block, |
| 7 | | resume normal wiki text and insert the corresponding end tag in a |
| 8 | | second `#!html` block. |

| 10 | | Fortunately, for creating styled <div>s, <span>s or even complex tables |
| 11 | | containing arbitrary Wiki text, there's a powerful alternative: use of |
| 12 | | dedicated `#!div`, `#!span` and `#!table`, `#!tr`, `#!td` and `#!th` blocks. |

| 14 | | Those Wiki processors are built-in, and does not require installing any additional packages. |

| 37 | | Since 0.11, the filtering is done by Genshi, and as such, the produced output will be a well-formed fragment of HTML. As noted above in the introduction, this mean that you can no longer use two HTML blocks, one for opening a <div>, the second for closing it, in order to wrap arbitrary wiki text. |

| 118 | | Note that the contents of a `#!div` block are contained in one or more paragraphs, which have a non-zero top and bottom margin. This leads to the top and bottom padding in the example above. To remove the top and bottom margin of the contents, add the `compact` class to the `#!div`. Another predefined class besides `wikipage` and `compact` is `important`, which can be used to make a paragraph stand out. Extra CSS classes can be defined via the `site/style.css` file for example, see TracInterfaceCustomization#SiteAppearance. |

| 137 | | `#!td` or `#!th` processors are actually the main ones, for creating table data and header cells, respectively. The other processors `#!table` and `#!tr` are not required for introducing a table structure, as `#!td` and `#!th` will do this automatically. The `|-` row separator can be used to start a new row when needed, but some may prefer to use a `#!tr` block for that, as this introduces a more formal grouping and offers the possibility to use an extra level of indentation. The main purpose of the `#!table` and `#!tr` is to give the possibility to specify HTML attributes, like ''style'' or ''valign'' to these elements. |

| 265 | | Note that by default tables are assigned the "wiki" CSS class, which gives a distinctive look to the header cells and a default border to the table and cells (as can be seen for the tables on this page). By removing this class (`#!table class=""`), one regains complete control on the table presentation. In particular, neither the table, the rows nor the cells will have a border, so this is a more effective way to get such an effect than having to specify a `style="border: no"` parameter everywhere. |
