## Plain Table (default)
No stripe. Only the header has a distinct background. Hover rows to see highlight.

| #Hatchling | Reviewed a few times. | Early |
| #Whelpling | Got the basics and can add to it. | Building |
| #Drakeling | Can continue to add, but a lot of it is wrong and ugly. | Mid |
| #Drake | Getting more right, need less rechecking, and more brief. | Late |
| #Dragon | Proficient, rarely needs to review as understands the concept. | Mastered |

## Striped Table (`.is-striped`)
Even rows receive a subtle alternate background via the `.is-striped` class on the `<table>` element.

## Alignment: Left / Center / Right
| Left-aligned | Center-aligned | Right-aligned |
| :--- | :---: | ---: |
| Text flows from the left. Long cell content should wrap cleanly. | Centered content looks best for short values like symbols or status. | Numbers and currency right-align so decimal points line up. |
| #Egg | ◉ | 1 |
| #Dragon | ★★★★☆ | 6 |
| #Greatwyrm | ★★★★★ | 7 |

## Long Cell Content (Wrapping)
| Short | This column contains very long cell content that should wrap onto multiple lines within the cell without breaking the table layout or misaligning adjacent columns |
| :--- | :--- |
| Row 1 | Every trip teaches you something. Usually the same thing, phrased a bit differently: you packed too much, forgot the one item that actually mattered, and the showers were worse than expected. |
| Row 2 | Three things I decided to work on at the same time, because apparently I do not believe in starting small: going more analog, cutting caffeine, and spending cash only. |
| Row 3 | Short cell. |
