Snippets in tables

[jimenezk]

Hi everyone.
Is there a workaround to add snippets in a table? I often want to add content in tables, such as bullets or icons or some sort, and it gets messy by putting it all in one row and adding <br>. Not sure if this is a valid use of tables/snippets, or maybe I am abusing their intended use. I appreciate any comments.

So, this works:

--8<-- "snips.txt"

This doesn't:

Column 1 | Column 2
--- | ---
Row 1 | --8<-- "snips.txt"

You're going to have to use raw HTML with a combination of the md_in_html extension. Can't recall if you need to add markdown="1" on tr or td, so you'll have to try it out and see:

<table mardown="1">
<tr>
<th>Column 1</th>
<th>Column 2</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Row1</td>
<td>
--8<-- "snips.txt"
</td>
</tr>
</table>

In short, there currently isn't an inline snippet insertion method right now. Snippets is more a block-level type insertion and account for appropriate indentation etc. Inline is a bit tricky because if you inject a file inline, you have to consider how to adjust the content to work in the inline case as indentation and such are very important in Markdown.

Here we go! That worked. In my snips.txt file, this:

This is some text file that will be displayed with a snippet.
<br>
Another lines.

Is a much more manageable and cleaner (and "scalable") version than one line with the rest of the table contents.

Thanks so much! I can go with this.
