Hi James The set widget at the top has only a single line break after it. That means that the content up to the closing /set widget will be parsed in inline mode, rather than block mode. Table formatting is a block mode syntax, and so is only recognised when parsing in block mode.
So, the fix is to add an extra linebreak after the opening set widget. <$set name="tmpfile" value="$:/temp/new/person"/> |!First Name |<$edit-text tiddler="$tmpfile$" field="firstname" tag="input" type="text"/> | |!Last Name |<$edit-text tiddler="$tmpfile$" field="lastname" tag="input" type="text"/> | |!Initials |<$edit-text tiddler="$tmpfile$" field="initials" tag="input" type="text"/> | <<new tiddler macro...>> Best wishes Jeremy On Tue, Oct 21, 2014 at 10:23 AM, James Mars <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > Could someone please tell me what is wrong with this code.. the > table/cells formatting is not working. when I take out the "set" line it > works fine. > > <$set name="tmpfile" value="$:/temp/new/person"/> > |!First Name |<$edit-text tiddler="$tmpfile$" field="firstname" > tag="input" type="text"/> | > |!Last Name |<$edit-text tiddler="$tmpfile$" field="lastname" tag="input" > type="text"/> | > |!Initials |<$edit-text tiddler="$tmpfile$" field="initials" tag="input" > type="text"/> | > > <<new tiddler macro...>> > > Thank you. > > James > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "TiddlyWiki" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/tiddlywiki. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- Jeremy Ruston mailto:[email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
