For All Table Issues: Create a "Quick and Basic" Table Using the HTML Editor
TechNet Wiki Editor might not translate your table HTML code the way you want it to, especially if you are pasting from a word processor. To fix this issue, we recommend that you follow this guide to create a quick and basic table that you can fill out with your content.
See Create Quick and Basic Tables Using the Wiki HTML Editor for information about creating tables using the Wiki HTML editor. This method requires that you edit the raw HTML for your article by clicking the <> HTML option in the status bar at the bottom of the Wiki Editor.
Other troubleshooting issues for the community to add:
- The editor changed my font.
- The editor added/removed spaces after bullets.
- The editor added repeat text from earlier in the document.
- The editor removed horizontal line rules.
- The editor indented bullets or other text.
- The editor creates unwanted "Span" elements in the HTML.
- Adding an anchor tag to a sub-header (or any text) turns it into a "go nowhere" link. Example article.
- Adding a hyperlink to a full line in a bullet ruins bullet and spacing formatting.
- Error: "<name> posted a new version while you were editing." -- You try saving a file and then cannot save it again because the Editor already saved it, but the Editor did not send you to the article page/tab as expected.
