Template:Block bug documentation

If the block-formatted content begins with a list (or any other wikimarkup that is dependent upon a specific markup character being at the beginning of a line) then due to a bug in MediaWiki, a {{#switch:s

|c|close  =

To embed a table in block markup like this, the block template's content parameter must be named or numbered and include the self-closing noinclude – as in |1=<nowiki /> – then every | character in the table markup must be escaped with {{[[{{#if:|{{{SISTER}}}Template|Template}}:!|!]]{{#if:||{{{2}}}}}{{#if:||{{{3}}}}}{{#if:||{{{4}}}}}{{#if:||{{{5}}}}}{{#if:||{{{6}}}}}{{#if:||{{{7}}}}}{{#if:||...}}}}. An alternative is to use explicit HTML <syntaxhighlight lang="html" class="" id="" style="" inline="1">

</syntaxhighlight>, <syntaxhighlight lang="html" class="" id="" style="" inline="1"></syntaxhighlight>, <syntaxhighlight lang="html" class="" id="" style="" inline="1">

</syntaxhighlight>, and <syntaxhighlight lang="html" class="" id="" style="" inline="1">

</syntaxhighlight> markup.
