Table with pipe symbol in table cell

[Guido]

Hello,

I need a table in TiddlyWiki where one of the table cells contains a
pipe symbol.
As this symbol is used as cell separator, it doesn't work (as
expected).

How can I escape a pipe ('|') symbol for this purpose?

Regards

Guido

You can use the HTML entity syntax: |
(7C hex is the character code for the vertical line (pipe) symbol)

| this cell has a pipe | in it |

enjoy,
-e

Thanks, it works :-)

I just wish they had defined something easier to remember,
like &brvbar;.

You can use
http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#AliasPlugin
to define a more memorable *macro* definition, like this:
<<alias vbar "&#x7c;">>

Then, to use it:
| This cell has a pipe <<vbar>> in it |

AliasPlugin rocks! It helps me to implement as many emoticons as I
want!
