Regular column	Vertical value column	Thin gold column	Unsortable column

This is a template that helps create vertically oriented column headers in tables. It even works for sortable columns.

Although this template was made with table headers in mind, it can work with regular cells as well.

If the header cells have other attributes, for example, colspan or rowspan, there must be no vertical bar | between the attributes and the template call.

If your browser does not support CSS property writing-mode: vertical-rl that makes this template possible, it gracefully degrades to the default display of the table columns.

The |1= text can contain wikilinks ([[]]). You can escape the equals sign either by using {{=}} or by explicitly mentioning the |1= parameter. Styles may contain double quotes.

Examples

! {{vert header|Your text here}} – basic example
! {{vert header|nb=1|Your text here}} – produces a no-bold, sortable header
! {{vert header|class=unsortable|va=top|Your text here}} – produces an unsortable, top-aligned table header
! colspan="2" {{vert header|cellstyle=background-color:gold|Your text here}} – produces a header spanning two columns, with a gold background; use no vertical bar after colspan

You can also use the ! {{verth|Your text here}} shorthand.

An example below (from Help:Sortable tables) with headers that span rows or columns (using rowspan and colspan). Note that there is no vertical bar | between rowspan=2 and {{vert header...}}

name	data columns		another column
name	data	more data	another column
cats	273	53	1
dogs	65	8,492	2
mice	1,649	548	3
