'''Note:''' Since the last value does not have formatting applied, the comma before it and its value (<code>,%%</code>) could ''technically'' be left off. The column's value would still appear because by default <code>include</code> automatically adds values as-is to the output (<code>tablerow</code> just allows precise positioning of values inside formatting, corresponding to the same column); though to include and format ''more values after that'', values must still align 1:1 with the include position. Specifying an empty <code>{{DPL|tablerow}}</code> would suppress that column's value from displaying at all (which would be undesired) so that column's value would '''have to''' be specified simply to hold its position in the 1:1 maping with <code>include</code>. For this reason, it is generally best practice to map values 1:1 from <code>include</code> to <code>tablerow</code> whenever <code>tablerow</code> is used, this helps avoid confusion if/when other columns need to be added later.
'''Note:''' Since the last column value does not have formatting applied, the comma before it and its value <code>,%%</code> could ''technically'' be left off (specifying an empty <code>,</code> suppresses the value from displaying). Without the comma, the column value would still appear because <code>include</code> automatically adds values as-is to the output, <code>tablerow</code> just allows precise positioning of values ''inside its column's formatting''. However, to add more values ''after that'' one, that column's value would then '''have to''' be specified, simply to hold its position within the comma separated list. For this reason, it is generally good practice with <code>tablerow</code> to put all values from an <code>include</code> statement into the corresponding position of <code>tablerow</code>, it can helps avoid confusion on later edits and/or additions.
