| :----------- | :------------: | ------------: |
| Left 1 | center 1 | right 1 |

HTML Example
It is also possible to use HTML to display tables. For example, the following HTML code will display a table with Bootstrap Table, loaded from a JSON file:
{% raw %}
<table id="table" data-toggle="table" data-url="{{ '/assets/json/table_data.json' | relative_url }}">
<thead>
<tr>
<th data-field="id">ID</th>
<th data-field="name">Item Name</th>
<th data-field="price">Item Price</th>
</tr>
</thead>
</table>
{% endraw %}
| ID | Item Name | Item Price |
|---|
More Complex Example
By using Bootstrap Table it is possible to create pretty complex tables, with pagination, search, and more. For example, the following HTML code will display a table, loaded from a JSON file, with pagination, search, checkboxes, and header/content alignment. For more information, check the documentation.
{% raw %}
<table
data-click-to-select="true"
data-height="460"
data-pagination="true"
data-search="true"
data-toggle="table"
data-url="{{ '/assets/json/table_data.json' | relative_url }}"
>
<thead>
<tr>
<th data-checkbox="true"></th>
<th data-field="id" data-halign="left" data-align="center" data-sortable="true">ID</th>
<th data-field="name" data-halign="center" data-align="right" data-sortable="true">Item Name</th>
<th data-field="price" data-halign="right" data-align="left" data-sortable="true">Item Price</th>
</tr>
</thead>
</table>
{% endraw %}
| ID | Item Name | Item Price |
