| Definition table | A definition table is used anywhere one wishes to organize blocks of content according to specific key terms, without creating separate section headers for each. The term is rendered in bold, right-aligned, in the first column of the table, and the second column contains the definition or other content. The content may contain any wiki formatting desired, excluding tables, and may contain multi-line formatting such as lists. |
Limitations
- Since definition tables use wiki table formatting, it is not possible to embed tables within the content area.
- Definition tables support a maximum of 50 rows. If more rows are supplied, a warning will appear on the page, indicating that additional rows have been omitted.
- When using a list (beginning with * or #) on the first line of a content block, one must insert a newline between the pipe (|) following the term and the list character, or the first list item won't be properly formatted.
- Content blocks within a definition table cannot be individually edited (though this is by design).
