TIP

We recommend using CDN to import Element Plus users to lock the version on the link address, so as not to be affected by incompatible updates when Element Plus is upgraded in the future. Please check unpkg.com for the method to lock the version.

Due to the limitations of native HTML parsing behavior, single-closed tags may cause some exceptions, so please use double-closed tags, reference

html
<!-- examples -->
<el-table>
  <el-table-column></el-table-column>
  <el-table-column></el-table-column>
</el-table>
