== wiki table in show/hide section? ==

{{tn|helpme}}
I'm trying to put a wiki table in a show/hide section. I am not having any success. Here's what I'm doing:
:<nowiki>{{hidden|test|</nowiki>
:<nowiki>:a</nowiki>
:<nowiki>:b</nowiki>
:<nowiki>:c</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{| class="wikitable"</nowiki>
:<nowiki>|-</nowiki>
:<nowiki>|row 1</nowiki>
:<nowiki>|-</nowiki>
:<nowiki>|row 2</nowiki>
:<nowiki>|-</nowiki>
:<nowiki>|row 3</nowiki>
:<nowiki>|}</nowiki>
:<nowiki>}}</nowiki>

Here's what's happening:

{{hidden|test| 
:a
:b
:c
{| class="wikitable"
|-
|row 1
|-
|row 2
|-
|row 3
|}
}}

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong please? Thanks, [[User:Pdfpdf|Pdfpdf]] ([[User talk:Pdfpdf#top|talk]]) 12:26, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm just looking into your question, and will answer here very soon. --<small><span style="border: 1px solid">[[User:Chzz|'''<span style="background-color:White; color:#003333"> &nbsp;Chzz&nbsp;</span>''']][[User talk:Chzz|<span style="background-color:#003333; color:White">&nbsp;►&nbsp;</span>]]</span></small> 12:30, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

OK; the two templates don't play well together. One solution would be to use HTML table syntax, like this;

:<nowiki>{{Hidden|Title text here|</nowiki>
:<nowiki><table></nowiki>
:<nowiki><tr></nowiki>
:<nowiki><td>1</td></nowiki>
:<nowiki><td>2</td></nowiki>
:<nowiki></tr></nowiki>
:<nowiki><tr></nowiki>
:<nowiki><td>3</td></nowiki>
:<nowiki><td>4</td></nowiki>
:<nowiki></tr></nowiki>
:<nowiki><tr></nowiki>
:<nowiki><td>5</td></nowiki>
:<nowiki><td>6</td></nowiki>
:<nowiki></tr></nowiki>
:<nowiki></table></nowiki>
:<nowiki>}}</nowiki>

{{Hidden|Title text here|
<table>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3</td>
<td>4</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>5</td>
<td>6</td>
</tr>
</table>
}}

For more info, see [[Help:Table#Other table syntax]]

Hope that answers your question, if not please put another helpme on here.

Hi. This is actually a two part problem.
# The {{tl|hidden}} template requires two attributes: header and content. You may omit the titles (i.e., <code>&#124;header=</code> and <code>&#124;content=</code> are not required) '''''unless''''' there is an equals symbol in the content, which you have: <code>class="wikitable"</code>. Since there is an equals symbol in your content, you ''have'' to include the attribute title, <code>&#124;content=</code>.
# You also had unescaped pipe symbols inside of another template. The pipe ("'''|'''") is used to separate parameters inside of templates (as you probably know) and also used to identify table cells (as you probably also know). The problem is that the parser cannot tell if the pipe it encounters is indicating a new cell or a template parameter. In my experience, the template usually wins. Solution? It's easy. Change the pipes that relate to the table to the {{tl|!}} template. It looks funky when you see the code, but it fixes most problems with wiki tables inside of templates.
And here is the working result or your original example, only making those two changes:
{{Hidden|test|content=
:a
:b
:c
{{{!}} class="wikitable"
{{!}}-
{{!}}row 1
{{!}}-
{{!}}row 2
{{!}}-
{{!}}row 3
{{!}}}
}}
Of course, the [[#Tables - a solution|solution below]] works well, too. Since I am very comfortable with [[XHTML]] and [[CSS]], it's the method I usually use. But learning how to work with tables inside of templates is a highly useful skill, too. It's good to know both methods. Feel free to ask me if you run into any future issues like this. &mdash;[[User:Willscrlt|<span style="color:#03D">Will</span><span style="color:#B01">scrlt</span>]]&nbsp;<small>(&nbsp;[[User talk:Willscrlt|“Talk”]]&nbsp;)</small> 11:55, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


=== Tables - a solution ===

Hi,

I thought about your problem, and have a possible solution.

If you use the actual code generated by the <nowiki>{{hidden}}</nowiki>  template instead of the template itself, it would work.

You'd put this bit before all the medals;
<pre>
<div class="NavFrame collapsed" style="border:none; "><div class="NavHead"
style="font-weight:bold; background:transparent;
text-align:center; ">Title text here </div>
<div class="NavContent" style="font-weight:normal;
background-color:transparent; text-align:left;
">
</pre>

And this bit after them;

<pre>
</div></div>
</pre>

I've made an example in [[User:Chzz/table]]

I hope this helps.

== Show / Hide ==

I've recently learnt some new tricks that may amuse you, and you may even find them useful.

[Before I start, do you know about <nowiki><nowiki></nowiki></nowiki>? Whatever you put between them stays as text and doesn't get treated as markup.<br />e.g. the text <nowiki><nowiki>xx<!-- Insert non-formatted text here -->yy</nowiki></nowiki> can be seen on this page, but if I remove the <nowiki><nowiki></nowiki></nowiki>,<br />then it will do what it is supposed to (i.e. xx<!-- Insert non-formatted text here -->yy) ]<br />
Right!<br />
;First trick:
<nowiki>{{collapse top}}</nowiki><br />
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.<br />
<nowiki>{{collapse bottom}}</nowiki><br />
results in:<br />
{{collapse top}}
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
{{collapse bottom}}<br />
;Second trick
<nowiki>{{Hidden|titlestyle = background-color: #ccccff;|Second trick|content=</nowiki><br />
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.<nowiki>}}</nowiki><br />
results in:<br />
{{Hidden|titlestyle = background-color: #ccccff;|Second trick|content=
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.}}<br />
