Notes

Due to the simplistic parser currently being used, you need to be careful with how you format the table.

  • the main requirement is that any '|' characters which mark a table boundary must have whitespace on either side

  • conversely, any other '|' characters must not have any whitespace around them

For example, in the markup below there are the following errors:

  • the Number column does not have any whitespace around the '|' markers

  • the Date column does have whitespace inside the macro

{table-data:My Table} || Text||\Number ||Date|| | {text-data:Text}|{number-data:Number}0{number-data}|{date-data:Date| format=dd-MMM-yyyy} | {table-data}
  • the correct formatting option is:

{table-data:My Table} || Text || Number || Date || | {text-data:Text} | {number-data:Number}0{number-data} | {date-data:Date|format=dd-MMM-yyyy} | {table-data}
