Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
If the block-formatted content begins with a list (or any other wikimarkup that is dependent upon a specific markup character being at the beginning of a line) then due to a bug in MediaWiki, a <nowiki />
and a new line must exist before the list (or whatever) starts. Compare:
code | result | |
---|---|---|
FAIL |
{{ Block bug documentation|1= *Firstly, ... *Secondly, ... *Thirdly, ... }} |
Template:Error |
Works as intended |
{{ Block bug documentation|1=<nowiki /> |
Template:Error |
To embed a table in block markup like this, the block template's content parameter must be named or numbered and include the self-closing noinclude – as in |1=<nowiki />
– then every |
character in the table markup must be escaped with {{!}}
. An alternative is to use explicit HTML <table>
, <tr>
, <th>
, and <td>
markup.
This is transcluded documentation, which can be transcluded in the /doc pages of various templates like {{Block indent}}
and {{Quote}}
, e.g. under a "Technical issue with block templates" heading or the like. Right now it takes no parameter other than |1=foo
, to change the {{{1}}}
to something else, thus changing the display (and operation) to use something other than |1=
in the shown template operations.
