While it is possible to create table via raw HTML, the wiki allows a simpler style.
Tables start with a curly bracket and a vertical bar character (a pipe) "{|" and end with a pipe and curly bracket "|}".
To start a new table row, type a vertical bar and a hyphen on its own line: "|-".
Each cell in a row is on a new line which starts with just a vertical bar character.

There are lots of other options, but the simplest is to add borders.

{| border="1"
|-
|AAAA
|BBBB
|CCCC

Change the leading vertical bar character to an exclamation mark to change a cell into a heading. The pre-defined "wikitable" style makes the borders look a lot better.
| This input |
{| class="wikitable"
|-
!A
!B
!C
|-
|DDDD
|EEEE
|FFFF
|}
|
produces |

The pre-defined "wikitable" template can also be used, but must be matched with a "endwikitable".

{{wikitable}}

!A
!B
!C

|EEEE
|FFFF
{{endwikitable}}
