Bug ID: 67850
Summary: VE edit mode shows formatting code transcluded frome
table cell template
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: ContentEditable

Some articles like https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justine_Henin?veaction=edit
and other articles about tennis players have advanced tables like
https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justine_Henin#Prestatietabel_enkelspel. Those
tables use a table cell template heavily
https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sjabloon:Tabelcel_tennis.
In VE edit mode the cells of the table with that table cell template show raw
format code like "align="center" style="background:#F9F9F9;"|". Users expect VE
edit mode to look almost exactly as in read mode. Now, it doesn't.
Bug 44498 is fixed, which was for a related template table cell problem on
en.wp. Somehow that didn't fix the template table cell issue on nl.wp.
Possible solutions:
* Rewriting the articles without using the template (editors on nl.wp don't
like that and prefer to use the template);
* Slight adaptation of the template (and subsequent rewriting of the articles)
so it becomes parsable; (requires a lot of consultation with editors on nl.wp)
* Have a tag in the template notifying Parsoid the template contains partial
table cell data starting with formatting code to receive a hint what to do with
the template;
* Apply solutions method of bug 44498 for this context;
* Your creative inspiration.
(This is one of a few major stumble blocks in turning VE on at nl.wp. The other
one is hidden templates and extra carriage returns which might lead to
accidental deletion of templates/images when someone removes a blank line.)
