I'm trying to put a list of tags in a table, so I carefully make a newline-free taglist.tmpl and then do:
-<pre>
-| [ [!inline pages="link(/category/env)" feeds=no archive=yes sort=title template=taglist] ] |
-</pre>
+ | \[[!inline pages="link(/category/env)" feeds=no archive=yes sort=title template=taglist]] |
-but there's a line in <pre>inline.pm</pre> that does:
-<pre>
- return "<div class=\"inline\" id=\"$#inline\"></div>\n\n";
-</pre>
+but there's a line in `inline.pm` that does:
+
+ return "<div class=\"inline\" id=\"$#inline\"></div>\n\n";
And the extra newlines break the table. Can they be safely removed?
