Description

When I'm writing a wiki page in Phriction, sometimes I have lots of content inside a table cell so that I'd like to force the content to be organized in multiple lines, but it seems impossible. It only breaks the line when the content get longer then the table width. I wish that I could break the line using <br />, or any other proper notation, inside a table cell.

This seems like a small issue, but since there's absolutely no workaround and it's impossible to post any documentation that makes use of non-trivial tables, I think this is a pretty big deal.

Is there a workaround for including a newline in a table's cells? I've tried with both pipe and HTML syntax, and with %%%, triple back-tick and <br> with no success.

@dwilches I needed the same ,just wrote up my solution here
