Question

Figuring that I probably wouldn't get a positive response on VariablesAndNewLinesWithinVariables, I set out to create a cheatsheet for my users. I'm not really expecting a solution unless somebody has one available. But thought I would report the funny behaviour.

Dakar

Here on TWikiDotOrg, the verbatim is working correctly

%EDITTABLE{changerows="add" editbutton="add line item" quietsave="off" format="| text, 20 | text, 10 | text, 10 | label, 0, $percntCALC{ $percntBALANCE$percnt }$percnt |"}%
| *Item* | *Debit* | *Credit* | *Balance* |

Cairo

On my CairoRelease, from the same %EDITTABLE text inside of verbatim tags, I get :

<nop>
<a name="edittable1"></a>
<form name="edittable1" action="http://domain.com/twiki/bin/viewauth/Sandbox/EditTableVerbatimTest#edittable1" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="ettablenr" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="etedit" value="on" />
| *Item* | *Debit* | *Credit* | *Balance* |
<input type="hidden" name="etrows"   value="1" />
<input type="submit" value="add line item" /></form>

The answer was to create the cheatsheet without verbatim and to escape every last thing from variables, to the pipes for the table, to the asterix for the bold.

Thanks for the report. Nobody is going to debug Cairo code anymore, so closing this.
