Comment on Tutorial: HTML Sanitizing and Parsing

  1. If "A carriage return or newline in the middle of text will add a break tag," does that mean I have to enter an entire table on one line?? I have a meta thingy that is formatted as a table and I don't see how I could enter it as one line of code.

    (Plus, even if I could cram the whole big table on one line, that would make it one hard-to-edit mess.)

    How would you recommend formatting a big table on AO3?

    1. Hi, 'frog:

      Thanks for asking about using tables on the Archive. This tutorial is a bit out of date, though we do have a team working on updating it. The parser has been adjusted such that you can use tables without it inserting blank lines. I do want to note that the default skin for the Archive puts a margin value on any P that you may want to modify using a work skin.

      If the table doesn't work correctly, please contact Support with the HTML you're using and we'll take a look!

      Best,
      Sam J.

      1. Thank you for your reply. I'm glad to hear that the parser has been updated to handle tables better. Thanks also for the heads up about margins. I'll keep that in mind.
