Complex
While we provide this example of complex table markup, in most cases a better practice is to break complex tables into multiple, simple tables.
| Col Header | Col Header | Col Header | Col Header | Col Header | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Row Header | Link | Data | Data | Data | Data |
| Row Header | Data | Data | Data | Data | Data |
| Row Header | Data | Data | Data | Data | Data |
| Row Header | Data | Data | Data | Data | Data |
| Row Header | Data | Data | Data | Data | Data |
