Thanks for the suggestion Kirk,

I have updated the notation guide. The note in the guide stating that each table-row has to be defined on a single line will be part of the Confluence 2.0.4 release.

Cheers,
Jens

Daniel,

Thanks for you help in sorting this out. I will modify my markup accordingly.

May I suggest that the Notation Guide be updated to explicitly state the rule that table rows must be defined on a single line. In general, the Notation Guide left me uncertain about the role of newlines, where they are allowed or not. I wasn't sure if the examples were meant to taken literally (exactly), or if they were just condensed (no newlines) to save space.

Again, thanks for your quick and thorough response.

Best regards,

Kirk

I have created CONF-4896 to deal with the table heading problem.

Hi Kirk,

The problem here is that you can not have headings within tables. The WYSIWYG editor will place the heading on a new line by itself. There is also a problem of the wysiwyg editor escaping the '|' characters because, it expects a table row to be defined all on one row, not over multiple rows.

We will look at fixing the heading within the table problem. However, since our sytax for tables is that table rows should be defined on a single line, im not sure that we can do much about the WYSIWYG editor escaping the '|'

There are still some double quotes in the View Source markup, but no single quotes, so I think just the single quotes are getting converted. We will look into the character encoding - thanks.

I am attaching the complete markup, obfuscated a bit, from the View Source. I did find one place where I omitted a pipe character to close the last table cell in a row (see after the closing "

that are themselves within a table cell.

Hi Kirk,

What type of quotation marks were you using? That they were turned into '?' marks would indicate that there is a character encoding problem somewhere in your setup. Are you able to use non-standard characters such as the euro symbol?

As for getting the original wiki markup, on the pages info tab, there is a view source link that will show you the original markup. Please ensure that you copy the wiki markup (without the sensitive content) as exactly as you can.

What I think is happening is that the wiki markup that you have on the page, whilst working and rendering correctly, is not strictly valid markup. What happens is that when the WYSIWYG editor converts this into HTML, it will force strict adherance to the table markup.

For example, the following markup will correctly render as a table with two rows and two columns. However, it is missing a '|' in the first row.

When you view this in the WYSIWYG editor and then save it, it will be converted to

which is the more correct version.

Another example is

which also renders as the same table as in the previous example, but is converted to

by the WYSIWYG editor.

Does this help explain what is happening?

Regards,
-Daniel

Daniel,

Thanks for your quick response.

Below is a part of the wiki markup for the page. It is the entire first
table that I sent in the screen shot. I have removed some of the text for
confidentiality reasons.

Note that this is not necessarily the original markup. To get the markup
below, I opened the page in Edit mode, clicked the Wiki Markup tab, and
cut-and-pasted the code. It seems that the Confluence editor is changing
the markup when I open the page in Edit mode. Is there a way I can get at
the original markup without opening the page in Edit mode?

Looking at this now, it looks like at least some of the single quotes that
were in the original text are now converted to question marks.

Hi Kirk,

Can you please give us an example of the wiki markup that you used that is causing this problem?
