Hi David. That's a really tricky situation. The way our parser is now there isn't much flexibility here and pipe escapes are probably needed, since the parser looks for pipes go separate parameters for the first level of templates. On Feb 13, 2012 1:40 PM, "david" <dvd(a)enlloc.org> wrote:

Hi; I need a method or workaround to allow users to put contents with wikitext tables inside template parameters. The users use Open/Libre-Office MediaWiki export to generate the wikitext and it is preferable that they do not have to add any extra wikitext or codes. This is my testing page: http://www.eoi.es/wiki/index.php/Usuario:Dvdgmz/pruebas If I write this the template (well the table) crashes: {{Test|Contenido= {| class="wikitable" | bla | bla bla |- | hola |hola hola |} }} Using Pipe Escape don't crashes but I don't want to ask users to write it: {{Test|Contenido= {{#!: {| class="wikitable" | bla | bla bla |- | hola |hola hola |} }} }} I tried to put the Pipe Escape tags inside the template but seems to be ignored.

Thanks Gerald for the answer but what I don't want is asking the users to use these templates. The users take the tables wikitext code from the Oo-MW export and paste it in a form (using Semantic Forms) that put it in a template. If I must to ask them to use extra code I prefer to use Pipe Escape {{#!: Reading the comment from John Du Hart I'm feeling that there isn't a better solution, unfortunately :( However thanks to tell me.

The standard way is to create Template:! that only has | and no spaces or return characters before your <noinclude> tag and Template:!! that is the same except it has || instead. Then you have {{Test|Contenido= {{{!}} class="wikitable" {{!}} bla {{!}} bla bla {{!}}- {{!}} hola {{!}} hola hola {{!}}} }} or {{Test|Contenido= {{{!}} class="wikitable" {{!}} bla {{!!}} bla bla {{!}}- {{!}} hola {{!!}}hola hola {{!}}} }} On 2/13/2012 1:39 PM, david wrote:

I think you could make the Semantic Form add the {{#!: for you around the parameter.

How can I do that? I don't know a way to put content before and after the value introduced by an user in a field. Now I'm trying to do it in the Template, but doesn't work. If {{#!: is inside the template seems to be ignored.
