This template provides the table cell definitions for a left justified table row header cell.

There is a single optional parameter |style= whose value is appended to the header cell's style definition.

For example:

{| class="wikitable"
|+ [caption text]
|-
! scope="col" | Title
! scope="col" | Column 2
! scope="col" | Column 3
|-
! {{year header}} | [[1920 in film|1920]]
|-
! {{left header}} | [row header]
| [normal cell] || [normal cell]
|-
! {{left header}} | [row header]
| [normal cell] || [normal cell]
|-
! {{year header}} | [[1921 in film|1921]]
|-
! {{left header}} | [row header]
| [normal cell] || [normal cell]
|-
! {{left header |style=background:#e0eef7; }} | [row header]
| [normal cell] || [normal cell]
|}

produces:

[caption text]
Title Column 2 Column 3
1920
[row header] [normal cell] [normal cell]
[row header] [normal cell] [normal cell]
1921
[row header] [normal cell] [normal cell]
[row header] [normal cell] [normal cell]

Any extra attributes such as data-sort-value (see WP:SORT) for the row header cell follow {{left header}} directly, for example:

{| class="wikitable sortable"
|+ [caption text]
|-
! scope="col" | Title
! scope="col" | Column 2
! scope="col" | Column 3
|-
! {{left header}} data-sort-value="First Title" | The First Title
| [normal cell S] || [normal cell Q]
|-
! {{left header}} | Second Title
| [normal cell P] || [normal cell R]
|}

produces:

[caption text]
Title Column 2 Column 3
The First Title [normal cell S] [normal cell Q]
Second Title [normal cell P] [normal cell R]
  • {{Year header}} provides the table cell definitions for a table row header cell spanning up to seven columns.
