Mixing Wikitable and HTML syntax
I am setting up a new wiki using the current stable version. Under the terms of
the GFDL I am copying a little (attributed) information from Wikipedia. This
includes a template which works perfectly there, but does not on my new
implementation.
I have tracked the problem down to the original template author mixing wikitable
pipe syntax and html table syntax. Ignoring the fact that this is poor
practice, I need to know what I must do to make it work on my new wiki, please.
To distill the problem I have an example:
<pre>
{|
- |
<td>
Wiki table including conventional table syntax
</td>
- |
} |
</pre>
This creates
<pre>
<td> Wiki table including conventional table syntax </td>
</pre>
in the finished article.
If I do the same on Wikipedia I just get
<pre>
Wiki table including conventional table syntax
</pre>
This is the intended end result, and thus highly desirable.
This is regrettably simple to reproduce on pujr pretty much vanilla installation
