Question

If including a table into another table, the first one included is formatted correctly (ie: incorporated into the primary table), but any additional included tables are treated as separate. I am trying to present a single table, with portions edited and maintained in separate topics (each of which has different user restrictions).

Answer

I assume you want to include several tables, one after the other, to get one big table. To join the tables nicely you need to avoid new lines between included tables. Do that by placing a %STARTINCLUDE% at the beginning of the first table row, and a %STOPINCLUDE% at the end of the last table row. See example Sandbox.TableTest

This works perfectly, even on my older TWiki installations. Thank you.

Another option is to put a unique marker in each table row, like an invisible <!--COPY--> in a table cell (label type in EditTablePlugin), then to do a %SEARCH{ "<\!\-\-COPY\-\->" regex="on" multiple="on" format="$text" }% to grab all those rows.

Nice! I tried it in the example you created, Sandbox.TableTest. This opens up all KINDS of options. Thanks again.
