I'm sure I've managed this: you have to make sure that the "|" is not the first character of the line. Take a look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Latin_alphabet You will note that "||" is used to separate cells. "|" characters not at the start of a line, provided they are not marking the end of a "properties block", are displayed fine. HTH HAND -- Phil [[en:User:Phil Boswell]]
