### Examples

For the examples below, consider the following table:

#### 1. Insert a Row Without Specifying Row Number

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Automation" %}

```
insert an empty row in the table
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Results" %}

| Name          | Type   | Light-years |
| ------------- | ------ | ----------- |
| Orion         | Nebula | 1,344       |
| Vega          | Star   | 25          |
| Titan         | Moon   | 0.0008      |
|               |        |             |
| {% endtab %}  |        |             |
| {% endtabs %} |        |             |

#### 2. Insert a Row When Specifying a Row Number

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Automation" %}

```
insert an empty row in the table
    the row number is 1
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Results" %}

| Name          | Type   | Light-years |
| ------------- | ------ | ----------- |
|               |        |             |
| Orion         | Nebula | 1,344       |
| Vega          | Star   | 25          |
| Titan         | Moon   | 0.0008      |
| {% endtab %}  |        |             |
| {% endtabs %} |        |             |
