Okay Pflodo I got your message, but for the life of me don't know how to answer you... so I'll put this onthe maillinglist... At least I know how to handle that... Yes, I agree, that the table was only to keep the text on the right... The first table does everything just as you described.... The second time around it don't! Any Ideas why? It has the same structure (or should I say markup) as the first! Jerry

I don'ty think you know how to handle it, because I have no idea what you are talking about.

What table? Where?
The second time around it don't!
Second time when?
Any Ideas why? It has the same structure (or should I say markup) as the first!

My bad... I answered to a message on the wiki without placing the context.... So here goes the long of it: I'm Trying to write articles on the wiki.... I started with a monster article and quickly ran into all kinds of troubles... PFlodo suggested that I load a pdf article (which I wrote a long time ago) into wiki so that I can concentrate on learning how to do wiki stuf instead of traying to make an article and fight the wiki at the same time.... So I've started http://en.opensuse.org/SSH_Tunnels_from_Microsoft_Windows Pflodo and JDD have been helping me with the wiki stuff nomenclature and spelling.... The latest change by PFlodo was the changing the table from html table to wiki table. The article has 3 of them. The first and last tables are built just to allign text with the corresponding pictures.... These 2 tables have Identical markup. The 2 tables donot render the same way. As far as I can tell the wiki-tables has a bug, that causes this diference in formatting.... Under the assumption that it is a bug, I bet that picctures on the left, and text on the right would get around it... what says the wiki team? Is this format desirable? Jerry P.S. Sorry, about the messed up postings.....

A quick test shows that wiki-tables handle Pictures in the left column, test in the right much better than the other way around... Unfortunately, it vertically centers the text.... Is there a tag to get top-aligned? Is there a web page I can read about these wiki tags? Jerry

You are welcome Jerry. BTW, you didn't waste your time. The article http://en.opensuse.org/SSH_Tunnels_from_Microsoft_Windows looks fine structured example how to write. I hope that you wouldn't mind if I borrow some formating and style ideas :-) -- Regards, Rajko.
I also changed === xxxxxx === to '''xxxxxx''' inside the tables.... I Like dthe formatiing of the heading, but this way the table of contents at the top is more or less usable... Jerry

Expirementing I found the following: I copy down the first row from the first table to the second.... and Bingo, the table works. I take the row back out.... Boom, the table is brooken..... A bug in wiki tables? Jerry
Okay, I'm finished (I think) with http://en.opensuse.org/SSH_Tunnels_from_Microsoft_Windows Time for you all to rip it appart, and tell all I did wrong... Jerry
