if tiddler A is 
| bla bla |


and in tiddler B I have
{{||A}}
the original table formatting is maintained

but if I do this:
| {{||A}} |
the outer table is formatted properly, but the inner "|" in tiddler A gets rendered as just the character "|"


is there a way to have the table formatting maintain through nesting like this?


thanks,
- Dave

Dave,

As soon as I start to nest tables, I revert to the full HTML tables (Which works and cancontain lists and other markup), rather than the tiddlywiki markup for tables.

However nesting can get messy in any case and that is why I use the more structured approach of html table to keep it clear.

Regards
Tony

Mohammed, tiddlytables ( http://tiddlytables.tiddlyspot.com/ ) looks like something I should really learn.

It looks a bit overkill for my use case, but maybe I'm wrong.  Is there a quick way to use it that's equivalent to
| bla bla |
?


Thanks,
- Dave

Tony,

thanks, merely putting "<table>bla bla</table>" does preserve table formatting past one level. :)

Dave,
 tiddlytables  read its data from tiddlers! Each row is a tiddler and each column is a field!
So if you have Tid01 with fl01 and fl02 with values bla and bla yes It makes the table for you on the fly!
There is example for table in table and you can simply make any number of nesting!

It really worth to put an hour and learn it.
