formatting tables through a view template

[Robert Mastragostino]

I assume that this is a simple question, but I couldn't find an answer in the docs or searching through the forums.

I have a tiddler type representing an academic paper, tagged with "paper", with a few fields as below. I want the display of this tiddler to automatically produce a table displaying these fields. To do this I have another tiddler viewPaper, tagged as a viewTemplate, containing the following:

<$list filter="[is[current]tag[paper]]">

|!Author:   |{{!!author}}   |

|!Author2: |{{!!author2}} | 

|!Link:        |{{!!url}}         |

|!Notes:    |{{!!notes}}     |

</$list>

Unfortunately the formatting doesn't work, and the paper tiddler just appears as though this were written as one line of text (with field references correctly filled in). Copy-pasting the table itself into the desired tiddler displays exactly as expected, so I don't think this is a formatting problem. Is there some other syntax I need to force the display to work?

Quick tip;

See if it works after inserting a blank line after the list

<$list filter="[is[current]tag[paper]]">

|!Author:   |{{!!author}}   |
|!Author2: |{{!!author2}} |
|!Link:        |{{!!url}}         |
|!Notes:    |{{!!notes}}     |

</$list>

Then remove the unwanted blank at the end of the line marked in red.

Regards

Tony

Maybe you can try DynamicTable   using

<<RowTable "[tag[paper]]" "Author Author2 Link Notes">>

Well that's embarrassing. Thanks, that worked like a charm.
