Template:Ask Table Formatter/doc

This template allows any table created by the "#ask" to use the Template: STDT formatting properly, including the shaded first cell.

Parameters

This template does not use traditional template parameters, instead it is fed up to 10 parameters to display by the #ask itself. Further, up to three ratios can be defined to be displayed as the final columns in the table be defining the following wiki variables

1. Ratio 1 = formatterNumeratorVariable1/formatterDenominatorVariable1
2. Ratio 2 = formatterNumeratorVariable2/formatterDenominatorVariable2
3. Ratio 3 = formatterNumeratorVariable3/formatterDenominatorVariable3

Keep in mind the whitespace created when defining these variables on new lines.

Note: the #ask must also use the | link = none parameter.

Examples
