Hi

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm trying to create some formatted content using the pywikimedia library.

The problem is that many formatting constructs expect to be on their own line, i.e table. I try something like:

page = wi.Page(wi.getSite(), "title") page.put("{|| col1 | col2 |}")

This doesn't turn out. It seems I need to have some kind of newline delimiter between some of the characters.

I need to create the following for it to work, but I can only do it manually using the normal web based MediaWiki article editor:

{| | col1 | col2 |}

Translating this to "code" and attempting to print a "\n" only comes out as normal text, so page.put("{|\n| col1 \n| col2\n|}") doesn't work

<br/> doesn't do the trick either.

What is the character I need to create a new line that will help me format the content properly?

Hope this makes sense.
