I'm having a problem writing a table with a lot of parameters. Apparently wikitext requires that all parameters be on the same line, but I can't write them that way because the editor wraps the text to the next line. Of course, I can write the tables in raw XHTML, but this seems like something there should be a fix for. Any suggestions?

Just let them wrap, that's not a problem.

Huh, it seemed like it didn't work when I tried it before, but now it does work. OK, false alarm; I probably screwed up the table syntax in some other way.
Thanks,

Oops, maybe it isn't a false alarm. Consider this:
<table style="width:100%; height:100%;" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" align="center"> <tr> <td width="25%" align="center">Prev</td> <td width="25%" align="center">Next</td> <td width="25%" align="center">Up</td> <td width="25%" align="center">Home</td> </tr> </table>
{| style="width:100%; height:100%;" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" align="center" | width="25%" align="center" | Prev | width="25%" align="center" | Next | width="25%" align="center" | Up | width="25%" align="center" | Home |}
The first table renders correctly. The second one puts the align="center" on a separate line as text. The line is short enough so that I can put all the parameters on a single line, but the behavior seems wrong.

there may be some other problem. the wrapping you see on your screen is only done by the browser. try reducing the font size or enlarge the window. If this gives syntax differences, there is certainly a bug :-)
