Question

Is it possible to have bullets inside a table? I have searched and searched but can't find any topics on this subject. So this:

• bullet1
• bullet2

..but now inside a table like this

Table1
table content with bullets

Result of putting a bullet inside a table

Table2
* test2 bullet1
* test2 bullet2
* test2 bullet3

Another try that doesn't workout quite the way we want:

Table3	column
test3 bullet1	col2bullet
test3 bullet2	col2bullet col2bullet
test3 bullet3	2nd column

So using the < LI > html tag, the bullets stay outside of the actual table

Update Another way to get bullets which is not really userfriendly:

Table4
• bullet tekst more tekst etc etc • bullet a lot of tekst so it will go to the next line
• bullet

Problem here: If the line doesn't fit a "Normal" bullet will break the line, continuing on the next line below the first word of that line. This solution will just continue on the next line below the bullet. If I would use %BB% instead of & # 8226; the EditTablePlugin will automatically replace %BB% with the code after saving it.

Looking at the Twiki.org site I noticed that some pages that have bullets inside a table use a HTML table (Example: TextFormattingRules - raw view).

Using the EditTablePlugin I would love to give the users the ability to edit a table and add bullets (not numbered, just the big-fat-dot bullets

Thank you!

Answer

Use %BB%.

-- ArthurClemens - 11 Dec 2007

Using %BB% combined with the EditTablePlugin will replace the %BB% with &#8226;. Plus it doesn't have the characteristics of a 'normal' bullet (on a long line the text will continue underneath the bullet instead of underneath the first word behind the bullet.

How about plain html.

-- MichaelDaum - 11 Dec 2007

Plain but valid html you can use:

| *Table*    | *Column* |
|<ul><li> Overview: what, how, who</li>\
<li> When</li>\
<li> Why</li></ul> | <ul><li>Dunno\
<li> Wonno</li>\
<li> Gonno</li></ul> |

Table	Column
Overview: what, how, who When Why	Dunno Wonno Gonno
