<div>
* blank line after open tag allows
* block mode punctuation (i.e. this list) to
* be recognised
</div>
That renders as:
- blank line after open tag allows
- block mode punctuation (i.e. this list) to
- be recognised
The open tag blank line "trick" also works inside of punctuation only recognised in inline mode (such as Formatting in WikiText):
''<div>
* list item one
* list item two
</div>''That renders as:
<div>
* Open tag without a blank line means
* block mode punctuation (i.e. this list) will
* NOT be recognised.
Paragraphs are only recognised in block mode. Even with blank lines, new paragraphs are not recognised.
This also is not a new paragraph.
</div>That renders as:
Tables in WikiText is one construct for which the open tag blank line "trick" cannot work. In order for the parser to recognise a table row, the entire row must be on a single line.
Adding a blank link after an open tag within a table cell causes the row to span mulitple lines and the parser ceases to be able to recognise it as a table row.
|table row|all on|one line|is recognised|That renders as:
| table row | all on | one line | is recognised |
|For a blank line after open tag|<div>
* list is recognised
* but the surrounding table row is not
</div>|That renders as:
|For a blank line after open tag|
- list is recognised
- but the surrounding table row is not
The only way to get block mode punctuation recognised in wikitext tables is to use $transclude with mode = block.
|Nested table:|<$transclude tiddler="table-example" mode=block/>|That renders as:
| Nested table: |
|
Note that $macrocall does not have a similar mode attribute and the content of macro definitions can only be parsed in inline mode
The less convenient <table>, <tr>, <td> html tags can be used as a foolproof way to get block mode punctuation recognised inside of table cells.
<table>
<tr><td>
* list item one
* list item two
</td><td>
|nested|table|
</td></tr>
</table>That renders as:
