{{Country table  |Headings = [[List of countries and outlying territories by total area|Area]] (km²) {{!!}} [[List of countries by population|Population]]  |RUS = 17,098,242 {{!!}}   143,202,000  |CAN =  9,970,610 {{!!}}    32,268,000  |USA =  9,629,091 {{!!}}   298,213,000  |CHN =  9,598,086 {{!!}} 1,315,844,000  |BRA =  8,514,877 {{!!}}   186,405,000  |AUS =  7,741,220 {{!!}}    20,155,000  |IND =  3,158,290 {{!!}} 1,103,371,000  }}

Formatting options[edit]

HTML and CSS formatting of cells can be achieved by replacing {{!!}} with {{!}} formatting {{!}}.

To format the first data column, add formatting {{!}} before the data.

For example:

Country Area (km²) Population
 Australia 7,741,220 20,155,000
 Brazil 8,514,877 186,405,000
 Canada 9,970,610 32,268,000
 People's Republic of China 9,598,086 1,315,844,000
 India 3,158,290 1,103,371,000
 Russia 17,098,242 143,202,000
 United States of America 9,629,091 298,213,000

Limitations[edit]

Currently, countries are always listed in alphabetical order.

It is not currently possible to format the country cells. This could be achieved by adding another "if" value.
