===Column styles===
It is very useful to set column styles in these tables

Note that in this table, even though {{para|default_value3|&amp;mdash;}} an [[Em-dash]] is not displayed when draw data is not given. This is because the default value set by the column style supersedes any manually entered default value. However column 6 shows that data entered manually via {{para|col6_TTT}} supersedes the column style data.
This example shows multiple relevant column styles
====pld, played, match, or matches====
If the column style is set to one of these values, then the default value of a cell is calculated by adding up {{para|win_TTT}} plus {{para|draw_TTT}} plus {{para|loss_TTT}}, each of whose default values are 0.
The column header is <code><abbr title="Played">Pld</abbr></code>, but may be changed using {{para|pld_header}}.
====w, win, or wins====
If the column style is set to one of these values, then the default value of a cell is the value of {{para|win_TTT}} or 0 if no such value is given.
The column header is <code><abbr title="Won">W</abbr></code>.
====d, draw, or draws====
If the column style is set to one of these values, then the default value of a cell is the value of {{para|draw_TTT}} or 0 if no such value is given.
The column header is <code><abbr title="Drawn">D</abbr></code>. For backwards compatibility with the WDL style, if {{para|use_tie}} is set to yes, then the header is <code><abbr title="Tied">T</abbr></code>, and in either case, the header may be changed using {{para|draw_header}}
====l, loss, or losses====
If the column style is set to one of these values, then the default value of a cell is the value of {{para|loss_TTT}} or 0 if no such value is given.
The column header is <code><abbr title="Lost">L</abbr></code>.
====rw====
For backwards compatibility with the WDL style, there is an option for a rounds won column style.
If the column style is set to this value, then the default value of a cell is the value of {{para|rw_TTT}} or 0 if no such value is given.
The column header is <code><abbr title="Rounds won">RW</abbr></code>, but may be changed using {{para|rw_header}}.
====pts or points====
If the column style is set to one of these values, then the default value of a cell is the number of points obtained by adding up the appropriate values for the wins, draws, losses, and rounds won.
As a default a win is worth 3 points, a draw 1 point, a loss 0 points, and a round won 1 point. These values can be overwritten to what you need by {{para|winpoints}}, {{para|drawpoints}}, {{para|losspoints}} and {{para|rwpoints}}.
The column header is <code><abbr title="Points">Pts</abbr></code>.

====ppg====
If the column style is set to this value, then the default value of a cell is the points as calculated above divided by the number of matches as calculated above. Even if these values have been overridden by {{para|colN_TTT}}, the calculated value is used and not the input value.
The column header is <code><abbr title="Points per game">PPG</abbr></code>.
A column with the ppg style will be slightly wider than the default column width.

====ppga====
It means "ppg average"; same as ppg but the value gives three decimal places.

====sum_S_T or diff_S_T====
If the column style is set to one of these values, with S and T replaced by non-mathematical column styles, then the value of a cell will be the mathematical result of the chosen operation on the values determined by the column styles specified by S and T.
Note that if entries for S or T are not defined, then a default value of 0 is set, even if they are present in a column with a different default value.
A mathematical style does not alter the column header from the default.
The parameter {{para|plus_sign_diffs}} determines whether a plus sign is shown on differences that are positive. By default this value is set to {{para|plus_sign_diffs|no}}.

====other====
Any other column style will not set a default value, and so the default cell value set by {{para|default_valueN}} will be used.
If the column style is set to such a value other than those listed above which is at most 3 characters long, then the column header is a fully uppercase version of the column style. For example, if the column style is set to cs, then the column header is <code>CS</code>.
However, if the column style is set to a value other than those listed above that is longer than 3 characters, no alteration to the header will be made. For example, if the 2nd column style is set to cscs, then the column header is <code><abbr title="Column 2">2</abbr></code>.
Additionally, if the column style is set to a value other than those listed above, then input may be taken from a parameter given by the column style underscore TTT. For example, if the column style is set to cs, then input may be taken via {{para|cs_TTT}} in addition to the usual {{para|colN_TTT}}.
Currently, custom column styles should only contain alphanumeric characters. The results of anything else are '''undefined'''.
