This is an actual working demo of the table colgroup example code below. (Do View Source to verify that this page is using the HTML 5 DOCTYPE. You can also verify it is Valid HTML 5 using the HTML Validator. Try using it to validate URLs with HTML examples from other places that claim to be HTML 5 web sites!)
See the tutorial on Creating HTML Tables for full details on how to create an HTML table using the HTML table tags together.
