TW5: Can I put code blocks inside tables?

[Jeff Vance]

 I like to keep lots of notes of syntax on various programming languages or command line tricks.  In other note tools, I often would create a table that lists the commands in one column and a description in another.  I can't find any way to do this in TW5 with so many `|<> characters.  I can't escape those characters inside inline code block (with ` code `), so I figured I'd use full code blocks...but I would really like each block to be within 1 column of a table.  I can't seem to make it work.  Is it possible?

There's always good old html:

<table>

<tr>

<th>example</th>

<td>

```

runCode(foo);

alert("bar");

```

</td>

</tr>

</table>

Best wishes,

Tobias.

And, if you can tolerate the 'red text' listing, you can also transclude a tiddler or field containing your code back into your table cell, although I can't get it to work in block mode ( ``` ), just single mode ( ` ).

Hi Jeff, Zaphod,

You can transclude in block mode:

|<$transclude tiddler="Code tiddler" mode="block"/>|

Cheers,

Ah, yes!

Thank You for that, Ton :)

I'd forgotten about using the full <$transclude> syntax, I was using the shorthand {{$tiddler to transclude}}...
