New issue 373 by jgspratt: Comments are not properly ignored http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=373 (Robot Framework 2.1, Python 2.6) According to the user guide (2.1.4 @ http://robotframework.googlecode.com/svn/tags/robotframework-2.1/doc/userguide/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#rules-for-parsing-the-data ): "All characters following a hash mark (#), if it is the first character of a cell; this means that hash marks can be used to enter comments in the test data" In the restructured text format, if the column width is set to n for a given column, c, and a given line, x, and a comment is entered beginning with a hash mark ("#") and then a space (" ") and the number of characters on the hash line exceeds n, pybot responds with the following error message: --- (ERROR/3) Malformed table. Text in column margin at line offset x. --- (where x is the line number that exceeded n) Comments are therefore limited to n characters which is extremely inconvenient (I use 30 character columns). The hash marked lines should not be assumed to be part of the table as a column entry. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
