# Edit Table Plugin This plugin allows you to edit TWiki tables using edit fields and drop down boxes. Tables have an **[ Edit table ]** button if preceeded by an `%EDITTABLE{...}%` variable. Each column can be a text field, a drop down box or a row number. Multiple tables per topic are editable, but only one at a time can be edited.
## Per Table Settings Add a `%EDITTABLE{...}%` variable just before an existing table to make it editable, or add the variable anywhere in a topic to start a new table. Parameters:
Parameter Comment Default

Else specify the header format of a new table like "|*Food*|*Drink*|". 		(no header)
